I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 540: Qin Lao and Xiao Yang in the Gengshen Year, the Intermediary and the Third Driver Lu Zhiwen

has a problem!
The young man's expression became serious, but he still drove the bus slowly over. However, the strange thing was that when he reached the platform, the man and the dog disappeared.

The only thing was the bus stop, which clearly did not belong to this era, just like the road beneath the bus.

There was a sign with the name of the bus stop on the platform. The young man read it out softly: "Peace Hotel Station? Isn't Peace Hotel in Dahai City? How come it is here? It's a bit too far away."

This is Taiping Town near Zhongzhou City.

Zhongzhou City is hundreds of kilometers away from Dahai City. Even if it is a supernatural place, it corresponds to reality. There will not be a situation where a supernatural place connects two places that are tens or hundreds of kilometers apart.

"What do you think?"

This question was addressed to Old Qin, whose eyes flickered. "As for me, I'll stand and watch."

A joke was met with the young man's expressionless indifference, which made Old Qin shake his head helplessly, "You have no sense of humor at such a young age. You still have a long way to go in the future. If nothing unexpected happens, you will have to drive for decades. If you don't learn to find some fun for yourself, your life will be too boring. Perhaps you should go back to your hometown first, find a woman you like, marry and have children?"

The young man had a numb expression and still did not answer, but just looked at him calmly.

Old Qin didn't say anything else. He turned and walked towards the back door of the car. "After I get off the car, you can drive away."

"You want to stay and deal with this supernatural incident by yourself? You don't need my help?" The young man frowned.

"You are still young. This supernatural incident is too strange. We can't interfere in the matter. Since this is the location of Taiping Town, let's leave it to Taiping Town."

As Old Qin was speaking, he had already gotten off the bus. Exactly five minutes were up, and without the young man having to step on the accelerator, the haunted bus started on its own.

"It seems that you know something. Otherwise, if you really want to hand this place over to the people of Taiping Town, it would be the best choice to leave with me."

The supernatural bus can easily break through the boundary between reality and the supernatural, and travel between reality and various supernatural places.

Mr. Qin's action of getting out of the car was clearly inconsistent with what he said.

The young man was not really stupid, so how could he not realize this? However, he did not stop the car forcibly to take Old Qin away, but followed Old Qin's wishes.

But he was already having doubts in his heart, and he took this supernatural incident more and more seriously. "The supernatural in the last era had been suppressed and blocked, and it was rare for ghosts to escape from the supernatural land. The supernatural incidents nowadays are basically the result of the old generation of ghost controllers having reached the end of their lives, and then the evil ghosts reviving. But they are all very good, and they know not to cause trouble for their descendants, so they will dismember their own supernatural bodies before they die. Even if there are ghosts in the end, they are just ghosts like puzzle pieces, not complete, and naturally not scary enough. The original intention of the bus was to send these ghosts that accidentally got out of control to the supernatural land to prevent them from causing trouble in the world."

"It's not that there are people who desperately want to live longer and are unwilling to dismember their own spirits, and end up causing terrible supernatural events, but these people have long been targeted by certain people, and it's rare for them to appear on the roadside without anyone supervising them."

"Today's supernatural incident is too bizarre. He actually took it so seriously and wanted to send me away first. However, if he could really escape the surveillance of those people, run to the wilderness, and then die from the resurrection of the evil spirit, such a person's strength is indeed terrifying."

"It's just that, one man and one dog, what kind of combination is this? I've been in the industry for so long, and I've never heard of such a strong man. And, a dog?"

Evil spirits have always appeared in the form of humans or parts of human bodies.

It cannot be said that there are no ghosts. During the Republic of China period, many special people appeared. They were also looking for their own paths, and naturally some of them set their sights on animals.

But he had only heard about these things from Old Qin and had never actually seen them.

According to what Old Qin said, those ghosts that look like animals or even wild beasts are not only rare, but they have been wiped out along with their source after a riot.

At the same time, it also proves that this life is not feasible!
He thought he would never see an animal-type ghost, but he actually saw one. Although it was just a glance, he could be sure that the dog was not only a ghost, but also definitely very scary.

As for that person, he couldn't see him clearly at all, as if he didn't exist at all.

"Could it be that the dog is the source, and humans are just slaves of the ghost? Hmm...human pets?" The contents of the young man's mind began to become confused.

When he came to, he immediately realized something was wrong, and his expression became extremely solemn, "What's going on? It's been a long time, why am I still in the white fog and haven't left yet?"

Although he was thinking and did not calculate the time, his body still has memory.

At least ten minutes had passed since Mr. Qin got off the bus, and this mysterious bus had been traveling in the white fog for seven or eight minutes.

Logically speaking, we should have left this white fog long ago.

Even without his special control, the ghost bus has a fixed route and will run along this route. It is also the best choice for many older generations to travel.

But now, the haunted bus can’t get out?

"This is really troublesome."

On the same day, at the bus stop outside the newly built Mingyue Community in Dachuan City, a woman in her seventies with black hair carrying a vegetable basket suddenly frowned and murmured in her heart: "The bus has an accident? This shouldn't be the case. After the war 20 years ago, the bus has never been late. Both Xiao Qin and the young man he chose are very dedicated and have never sacrificed their duties for personal reasons. Could it be that they have encountered some trouble?"

Thinking of this, the woman turned around and left among a group of old men and women who were chatting enthusiastically.

……

“Will there be such supernatural events in the future?”

Standing at the Peace Hotel bus stop in the white fog, Mr. Qin had checked the place carefully but found nothing.

It was as if this was just an ordinary bus stop.

If it weren't for the thick white fog, even if this bus stop and this road appeared outside Taiping Town, it would at most arouse people's curiosity. No one would think that this place was haunted or that some supernatural incident had occurred.

"Now I may understand why the people from Taiping Town did not come to deal with this supernatural incident. In this case, let's leave it alone for now and ask those people about the situation first."

After saying this, Mr. Qin turned around and left without any hesitation.

When he left, he was on high alert so that he could react immediately if someone attacked him.

Until the bus stop behind him disappeared, nothing unusual happened, which made Old Qin secretly relieved.

The shadows of the man and the dog just now made him very alert. Fortunately, nothing happened. However, after he walked for a distance, he realized something was wrong.

"I can't get out. Is it the influence of the ghost realm? If so..."

Without any hesitation, Qin Lao used his own spiritual power, which was also the power of the ghost realm. But then his face changed completely, "My ghost realm is suppressed and can't be spread out at all. This piece of white fog obviously doesn't have any spiritual aura, how can it be so terrifying?"

All around, it was still white, and there was nothing except the road under my feet.

Qin Lao took a deep breath and said, "It seems that you are going to keep me here. If so, I want to see what the hell you are."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go back to the bus stop, but when he turned around, he found that the bus stop was clearly ten meters in front of him.

However, he had just walked for more than ten minutes without stopping, so he must have walked at least one or two miles!

There were still the phantoms of the man and the dog, still standing next to the bus stop, as if waiting for a ride. But when Old Qin tried to walk over, the phantoms of the man and the dog began to dissipate before he got close.

Old Qin had a serious expression on his face. Having dealt with countless supernatural incidents, he had encountered countless strange things, but this was the first time he had seen a situation like the one before him.

“Ask your future self.”

Old Qin thought about it and decided to use his biggest trump card, which was his most fundamental supernatural power, the power to communicate with his future self!
Relying on this supernatural power, no matter how difficult the supernatural incident is, as long as there is a chance of survival, you can find yourself who survived in countless futures, and then learn the key to breaking the deadlock and solve the supernatural incident.

Over the past few decades, he has relied on this power to overcome difficulties.

But as time passed, as he grew older, and as his strength increased, he rarely used this method. He didn't expect to use it here.

A cold aura emerged from Old Qin's body, and in the blink of an eye, Old Qin seemed to have aged a little.

Although he was not as old as the woman in Okawa City who didn't get a ride, he looked almost as old as her. But soon this change stopped.

Qin Lao's expression, which had never changed, finally showed an indescribable change, as well as fear: "How could it be that my future self is unwilling to talk to me? It seems that there is some kind of mysterious warning telling me not to contact the future. Why is that? Could it be that the ghosts here also have the power to contact the future, and will attack me in the future during this process, leaving my present self in the future, and then erasing me?"

The biggest trump card has failed. If it weren't for Mr. Qin's rich experience, he would have lost his composure long ago.

"If I can't leave, what about Xiao Yang? Can the bus he drives leave here?" Old Qin was very clear about the situation of the supernatural bus. He let the young man drive away first because he felt that it was a bit dangerous here and he might not be able to protect the other party if a fight broke out. Also, the bus might be useless, so he let the young man go first.

But now, he was a little suspicious.

At this time, two headlights shot out from the depths of the white fog. The light was dispersed by the white fog and no longer converged like before. Instead, it refracted and looked very strange. "You're back as expected."

Old Qin narrowed his eyes and watched the bus stop in front of him. Then the young man got off the bus and said solemnly, "I can't get out."

"The ghost that can prevent a bus from leaving is really scary." Old Qin nodded.

The young man glanced at him and said, "What should I do now? I've been driving around here for a long time, but no matter which direction I go, it's the same road. There's no change. Even if I drive off the road, this straight road will suddenly turn to ensure there's a path under the car. And only when I turn the car around can I see this bus stop and return here. And there's another person next to the man and the dog."

"Ok?"

After listening to the previous part, Mr. Qin didn’t have too many thoughts, because he had the same experience.

Such a supernatural incident with no clear beginning or end always makes people feel uneasy, and the source of the uneasiness has finally been found.

"When I came here just now, I could only see a man and a dog, and they disappeared when I got closer. When you came here just now, I didn't see any changes around me. Now it seems that the phantom can only be seen at a certain distance? In that case, let's stay away from them." said Old Qin.

The young man glanced at the haunted bus and said, "Why not drive it? If it drives away by itself, it won't turn around by itself, and we may not be able to find it for a while."

"It doesn't matter. It's useless for the time being anyway."

Old Qin didn't care. Even in this white fog, where even the ghost realm was suppressed to the extreme, his connection with the supernatural bus was still there, and he could summon it at any time.

In that case, the young man didn't say anything else.

Ignoring the haunted bus, he walked towards the distance with Old Qin, then turned around and slowly approached the bus stop until the phantoms of... the two people and the dog appeared again.

Old Qin's face was solemn. "Is this dog a ghost? And these two people, their clothes are not from our time. Perhaps, I can understand why we can't leave. This place does not belong to reality at all, but has come to the mezzanine of time. The bus can freely enter and exit the supernatural place and reality, but it cannot escape the constraints of time. If it is not at the right time, it cannot return to its reality."

The young man's face changed slightly. "So the source of this supernatural incident is related to time, that is, these two people and the dog..."

As they were talking, the two of them tensed up, only because the two people and the dog, who should not belong at this point in time, suddenly looked up at the same time.

The dog had black pupils and was wearing a piece of clothing with large and small longevity characters written on it. It looked like the kind of clothing that a dead person would wear, but it fit it perfectly.

Being stared at by this dog, even though we are not in the same time and space, I feel like being stared at by a wild beast and being treated as food.

There was one of them, his body was covered with wood grain, and he looked like a wooden man, and his eyes were empty and out of focus.

It clearly has the breath of a living person, but it looks more like a ghost slave.

On the body of this ghost slave who looked like a living person made of wood, the young man muttered: "He should be the one who summoned the bus. He... is the driver of the future? So, he was controlled by someone, and that person wanted to use this future bus driver to invade from the future to the present and return to our time and space?"

In just a blink of an eye, the young man analyzed the possibility that was closest to the truth from the limited information.

Qin Lao said to himself, "So that's how it is. No wonder my future self doesn't want to communicate with me. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't. Has the future been fixed?"

His most core ability is the ability to communicate with his future self.

And through future information, he can constantly adjust his practices to update a new future. In other words, he can choose from countless futures one that is most beneficial to him or the one he most wants to see.

This is a terrifying power!

While other ghost riders were fighting for the present, he had already set his sights on the distant future. Everything he did now was a decision made for the future.

But what if the future is fixed?
He originally had countless possibilities and countless futures, and everything depended on his choices. But now, because of this strange figure, his future was fixed.

"If I can't get rid of this person, then no matter what I do now, the future will be corrected until it reaches a future where this person exists. And the person who corrects this future..."

Old Qin stared at the man in front of him, as if they were looking at each other across time and space. "So, is he here to correct time and space? Who needs to be corrected, me, or..."

Looking at the young man beside him, a hint of pity flashed in Old Qin's eyes.

"You seem to have lost your fighting spirit." The young man turned around and looked at Old Qin in confusion. "This is not the you I know. Even if it involves the supernatural power of time, as long as he has invaded until now, we still have a chance to imprison him. Moreover, his arrival may not necessarily be for conflict. Perhaps we can communicate a little."

Anyone who survives in the paranormal circle won't have naive ideas.

But what the young man said did not make sense. At least on the surface, the white fog did not cause any other harm except restricting their departure.

The opponent's power can already affect them. Is it possible that they cannot be attacked?
The young man had just experienced how terrifying this white fog ghost domain was. The spiritual power he controlled had been completely suppressed and temporarily lost its effect.

The ghost realm alone is so terrifying, no wonder it can invade from the future to the present, it's really scary!

"No matter what, you must be prepared for the fight and don't take it lightly." Old Qin gave his advice and obviously did not refute the young man.

It was just because he had seen invasions from the future before, and that person had always been very nice to him.

The two had just finished discussing when they saw a strange scene. The man actually... just like that, he walked into the body of the wooden man with numb eyes!!!

a few minutes ago.

Lin Yuan has arrived at the wall of white fog, but he did not come alone. Instead, he brought the watchdog, the starving ghost, Lao Hua with him first.

There is no other reason, just because Lao Hua will say "Welcome".

This return to the past is different from the previous ones. It is not a simple invasion of the past through the anchor point. What he wants to try is to bring someone else back to the past.

Using human words is too dangerous.

If the time travel fails, it is likely to cause unknown risks. He has no feelings for the people he is communicating with now, and they are all customers of the store.

He would never do anything to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

What's more, if something goes wrong in this kind of situation, it would at most be considered killing the chicken, without taking the eggs at all. But if it was a ghost, although it would be a bit painful, it would be within an acceptable range.

For the ghost bus to stop, it needs a platform, otherwise you can only stop it with your physical body.

Lin Yuan didn't want to gamble whether Mr. Qin in this era would stop the car for him, so he brought the bus stop with him and waited for the bus here with the hungry ghost.

The bus finally arrived, but I couldn't see it or touch it. I could only hear the sound of the bus running, stopping, and starting.

"Sure enough, a medium is still needed."

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan returned directly to the virtual game, Hongming Village, Taiping Ancient Town, Ghost Street. Without revealing his figure, he let the old ghosts in Ghost Street start the attack, "killing" Yang Jian, Li Jun, Ah Hong and Lu Zhiwen all, ending this fun-like game.

Then he brought Lu Zhiwen here.

Lu Zhiwen is the new supernatural bus driver chosen by Mr. Qin. With the help of Mr. Qin, the supernatural bus has established connections and become a medium as well as an anchor point.

The medium and anchor point originally prepared by Lin Yuan was Cao Yang.

But Cao Yang's "noon transaction" has to wait until noon, not now. Lu Zhiwen just happened to break in, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.

How could Lin Yuan waste this gift from God?

After bringing Lu Zhiwen to the bus stop, Lin Yuan let Shen Lin's body go. There was no need to use the supernatural power in this body now.

Then, he walked into Lu Zhiwen's body.

Of course, this is just an appearance. The real essence is still the invasion of the supernatural. When Lin Yuan's supernatural power completely invaded Lu Zhiwen, the confused look of this body also disappeared, and was replaced by Lin Yuan's eyes.

Curious, but with an unspeakable indifference, and... pressure!
Borrowing Lu Zhiwen's body, Lin Yuan felt the connection with the mysterious bus in his body, and finally saw that in front of him, there was an old bus parked in the place where there was nothing originally.

This bus is naturally a ghost bus.

It was just over forty years ago, so although the car was also very old, it was still newer than the real thing. Then, Lin Yuan turned his head and looked in the direction of Old Qin and the young man.
