I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 556: Old Black? Uncle Black! The unconscious ghost messenger
You, a loser, are worthy enough to compete with me?

When Fang Shiming looked at Guo Fan, there was vigilance in his eyes, but more of it was a strong disdain.

He is the president of the circle of friends, a domineering president certified as a "store manager", and the assets he owns are simply incomparable to Guo Fan.

If he really wanted to go to the "store manager", he was sure that he could come up with a "dowry" that was enough to crush Guo Fan and get the "store manager"'s consent.

The scary thing is that the "store manager" would suddenly say that everyone is free to fall in love, and Guo Fan would really get the idea and try to win the ghost catcher like him.

If the spirit tablet in Guo Fan's stomach is more important to the ghost catcher than the ghost coffin on his back, then he has a chance of losing the battle.

Take one step and look three steps ahead!
Fang Shiming likes to nip all threats in the bud, but preventing the ghost from contacting Guo Fan is only the worst option. "Maybe we can find an opportunity to kick Guo Fan out of the hotel, and after he loses his employee status and the White Mist Seed, we can defeat him and take back the spirit seat?"

Guo Fan noticed Fang Shiming's eyes, but didn't care.

Instead, he was excited by Fang Shiming's initiative. "Old Fang, I can take you there. But if the boss asks, you have to make it clear that you came here on your own initiative."

"I'd better go with you, so that I can testify for you and prevent him from lying and framing you. Of course, he can also prove that I followed you on my own initiative and won't let me talk nonsense." He Yuelian said.

"That... works."

After taking a look at the ghost catcher Lao Fan, Guo Fan agreed.

If he were really asked to take the ghost away alone, he really wouldn't have the courage to do so.

He Yuelian and Fang Shiming are not the same kind of people, and their relationship is not as good as it seems, so there is no need to worry about them colluding with each other.

So, several people got in the car.

He Yuelian sat on the co-pilot seat, while Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan sat in the back seat.

As for Lao Hei and Lao Hua?

Fang Shiming opened the car door and motioned the two guard dogs to go in, but none of them moved. Several pairs of dogs stared at the ghost catcher Lao Fan with their eyes.

"You usually work together. How come you don't even dare to sit together now?" Fang Shiming said with a mocking look on his face.

Ever since he started planning to catch the ghost, he has been very wary of any people or ghosts approaching.

Lao Hei and Lao Hua are quite self-aware.

That's right.

Fang Shiming even made the dog wary, but it was not without purpose.

It’s not that I’m afraid that I can’t compete with a dog, but...well, I’m really a little worried.

Who made them all ghosts?
The six-headed dog of hell, Lao Hei, looked at Fang Shiming with his dark pupils. It was this look that made Fang Shiming feel a chill on his back.

"This dog is so scary!"

Fang Shiming's pupils suddenly shrank. He could feel that the supernatural power he controlled became a little suffocated under Lao Hei's gaze.

If this was not in the Peace Hotel, if this was not in the White Fog Ghost Domain, he would probably be suppressed even more. This is the difference in the degree of terror.

But he still has the ghost coffin on his back...

Yes, the ghost coffin is just a puzzle of the ghost catcher, not a complete ghost, but Lao Hei has clearly completed the puzzle. Just look at the six dog heads and you will know that this is an extremely complete ghost.

Being suppressed is normal.

But, I am not willing to give in!

Now, I can’t even beat a dog?

Oh, it turned out to be the Peace Hotel's guard dog. That's fine. It's normal for a kitchen worker like him to be unable to beat a guard dog...

Fang Shiming barely convinced himself that the main point was to be able to bend and stretch.

Lao Hei looked at the ghost catcher Lao Fan again. It could be seen that he was not very afraid. Instead, he seemed to be a little disgusted. Then he turned around and ran behind the ghost taxi.

Lao Hua also followed happily, like a little follower.

"Wang!"

With a gentle call, the trunk opened, Lao Hei jumped lightly and sat in the trunk, and Lao Hua followed quickly. The two dogs sat side by side, as if this was the right place for them.

boom!
Fang Shiming also closed the car door, and just as he sat down, his body stiffened.

It was just because the ghost catcher Lao Fan came closer, like a pair of intimate lovers, and the ghost hands were gently stroking his back, or rather, stroking the ghost coffin that had turned into clothes.

Fang Shiming's whole body stiffened.

It still takes some time to make a choice and fully accept it.

Fang Shiming stood straight, like a gentleman who remained calm even when a woman made him stand tall, which made Guo Fan, who was looking at him in the rearview mirror, give him a thumbs up.

"It was right to bring Lao Fang with us, otherwise the ghost messenger would be in trouble at this time..."

He looked down at his stomach, his whole body shuddered, and then he quickly stepped on the accelerator.

The ghost taxi started instantly and rushed out. No one spoke along the way, and no dogs barked. Twenty minutes passed in silence.

The white fog disappeared, and the ghost taxi appeared in a strange county town.

"It's this county town. There's something strange going on inside. The boss and Xiao Liu are in a house a few streets away. Now they... Shit!"

Guo Fan was introducing the information of the county town when he suddenly noticed a ball appearing on the road.

How could there be a normal ball in such a strange place?
Everyone present noticed something was wrong, and He Yuelian said coldly, "Bump into him!"

"clear."

Guo Fan did not forget that he was driving a ghost taxi. Although it was not as good as a ghost bus, it could still knock ordinary evil ghosts away directly.

However, He Yuelian is the lobby manager and the person in charge of the Dahai City branch, and she also holds a very important position in the "store manager's" heart.

Of course, he couldn't offend He Yuelian because of such a small matter, so he just replied and then stepped on the accelerator. The engine of the ghost taxi roared and then rushed forward.

puff!
As soon as it touched, the seemingly solid leather ball exploded with a bang, and the exploded leather ball splashed a pool of smelly, sticky and black liquid, like something that was rotten and spoiled, and it stuck directly to the front bumper of the ghost taxi.

Before Guo Fan could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw balls appearing in all directions.

The second, the third, the fourth...

These balls appeared from nowhere and kept rolling towards the ghost taxi. There were more and more balls in number. In just a moment, the surrounding ground was full of rolling balls.

Guo Fan had a sullen face and had already stepped on the accelerator to the floor, almost stepping into the fried dough sticks.

A series of bangs rang out, and countless balls began to explode the moment they were hit by the ghost taxi. In just a moment, the entire body of the taxi was covered with the black liquid on all sides, and even the window glass could not see the situation outside clearly.

"Xiao Guo, why did the speed slow down?" Fang Shiming noticed something was wrong and asked immediately.

Guo Fan's face was gloomy, and a few drops of cold sweat dripped from his forehead. "I kept my foot on the accelerator. It was these balls. The liquid they exploded restricted the movement of the ghost taxi."

While he was speaking, the ghost taxi stopped and turned off the engine.

No matter how hard Guo Fan stepped on the accelerator, there was no response. Guo Fan became even more panicked. "What should I do now?"

"What a trouble. Lao Fang, these things are too dirty. I'm sorry to trouble you." He Yuelian looked at the black liquid on the car window with disgust, without any worry at all.

Fang Shiming snorted coldly and opened the car door.

As soon as the door was opened, a bunch of rubber balls exploded and liquid attacked Fang Shiming directly, but the liquid disappeared without a trace just as it got close, as if it was taken away by something.

And there were a few small black spots on the corners of the clothes on Fang Shiming's back, as if they were stained.

"This is a ball made of human skin."

After taking a look at the shriveled leather ball left after the explosion, Fang Shiming recognized it instantly. Then he looked into the distance and saw that everywhere he could see was filled with such leather balls.

As he got out of the car, the balls rushed towards him like crazy.

"Old Fan, this is up to you."

Fang Shiming made way to let the ghost catcher Lao Fan get off the car. As Lao Fan got off the car, the balls around him exploded one after another, leaving no chance for them to get close.

But this range only lasts for a short distance, and at a rough glance it is less than a hundred meters.

"This county town is very strange. Xiao Guo, can the taxi still move?" Fang Shiming asked.

Guo Fan was slightly relieved by Lao Fan's getting out of the car. He tried several more times but still couldn't start the vehicle. "No, the taxi is completely out of service. It will take some time to recover."

"We have to get off the car now. Xiao He, are you going to go with us to find the boss, or stay here to watch the car?" Fang Shiming asked.

He Yuelian also got out of the car and took a look at the black liquid on the car body. She couldn't help but look disgusted. "Of course I have to go find Brother Yuan. This county town is indeed a bit weird. My ghost domain is restricted here. There are too many supernatural entanglements here."

Guo Fan was shocked. "What? Even the ghost realm of the ghost painting has been affected?"

"Why, you don't really believe what Zhang Xianguang said and think that the ghost domain of ghost painting is the strongest in the world?" He Yuelian asked calmly.

Guo Fan shook his head. "The boss's ghost domain is the strongest. But even if the ghost domain of the ghost painting is not the most terrifying, it is definitely not something that can be fooled by ordinary ghosts. This county can restrict some of the ghost paintings' ghosts. It seems really scary."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's time to go find the boss. Xiao Guo, do you want to stay and look at the car?" Fang Shiming asked.

Guo Fan didn't want to stay here at all.

He was very clear about his own strength. If Fang Shiming and the others all left, he would definitely have no chance of living well under the skin of this sea of ​​people.

of course.

With the White Mist Seed, he doesn't have to worry about dying.

But sometimes, a life worse than death is the most terrible thing!

After these balls exploded, even the Ghost Taxi could be extinguished. He didn't want to be suppressed all the time and not know when he would be rescued by the "store manager". However, the Ghost Taxi was not his property, he only had the right to use it.

If the "store manager" knew that he lost the ghost after renting it out and gave it up voluntarily, even if the situation was urgent and there was no other way, and the "store manager" did not blame him, would it affect his image in the "store manager"'s mind?
With this thought in mind, Guo Fan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll stay. This car was given to me by my boss. I'm going to take it back no matter what!"

"It's up to you, but if you don't go, who will show us the way?" Fang Shiming asked.

Guo Fan pointed to the road ahead and said, "Go straight along this road, turn right at the first intersection, go straight at the second intersection, and turn left at the third intersection. There is a building with red double doors on that street. That's it."

After saying that, he returned to the ghost taxi, making it clear that he was determined to defend the property of the Peace Hotel and the "store manager's" belongings to the very death!

He Yuelian glanced at him and said, "Let Lao Hei or Lao Hua stay with you."

"But...they were all specifically requested by the boss." Guo Fan was tempted, but also a little embarrassed.

"I'll explain it to Brother Yuan then."

Hearing He Yuelian say this, Guo Fan was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you, thank you Xiao He... Sister."

Xiao He...sister?

He Yuelian gave him a strange look and said, "Lao Hei, you stay here. I will come to find you as soon as I meet up with Brother Yuan. If it's just these balls, you should be fine."

"Wang!"

The six-headed dog of hell, Lao Hei, jumped out of the trunk, but did not get out of the car. Instead, he jumped directly onto the roof, looked around, and looked down on everyone.

The starving ghost Lao Hua also jumped out of the trunk, but followed He Yuelian.

"go!"

Fang Shiming did not hesitate and strode in the direction pointed by Guo Fan, while the ghost messenger Lao Fan's hand was always on his back, stroking the place that was stained with a few drops of stains.

Seems a little distressed.

As Lao Fan moved, the few drops of stains disappeared quickly. The cleaning efficiency was amazing. If he opened a supernatural laundry shop, he would probably have good business.

Lao Fan is a fully revived evil spirit. Although the ghost coffin is still on Fang Shiming's back, its spiritual power has been fully released.

As they moved forward, the human skin ball could only move a hundred meters away and had no way of getting close. And when they left, the Ghost Taxi was left without protection.

Countless human skin balls rushed over again.

Guo Fan's eyelids twitched. "The ghost taxi has stalled. If these balls really rush over, I will definitely be finished. It's no use, Lao Hei! Brother Hei! Uncle Hei! You better act quickly, otherwise we will all die here!"

Lao Hei's two heads drooped, as if looking at Guo Fan through the roof of the car, then it raised its fluffy black legs and knocked lightly in the air.

boom!
boom!boom!
The entire ghost taxi suddenly trembled, and knocks sounded at the four doors at the same time. The sound did not come from outside the ghost taxi, but from inside the ghost taxi, right next to Guo Fan's ears, with four sounds surrounding him.

The strange knock on the door made Guo Fan feel creepy, but he did not feel any discomfort.

Instead, he looked nervously out the car window.

Because of the black, sticky, and smelly liquid, there were few gaps in the car windows that could see outside, but through these slightly cleaner places, he could also see that the human skin ball had rushed forward.

"It's over!"

The knocking on the door continued, but Guo Fan was completely desperate. "I hope I won't be tortured to the point of mental breakdown. If so, I might as well just die."

The White Mist Seed can protect consciousness, but what if you go crazy?

No one has ever done this kind of experiment, but there are many speculations about this at headquarters, especially Wang Xiaoming, who has put forward many ideas on this matter.

Guo Fan had heard a lot and knew very well what long-term torture meant.

The White Mist Seed, which could be used as a trump card in the fight with the ghost rider, instead became the reason for continued pain when facing so many supernatural ghosts.

But after waiting for a long time, still no one rushed over, which made him a little confused.

When I looked out the window again, I was surprised to find that the human skin balls rushing towards me exploded one after another when they got within five meters.

It's just like the effect of the previous Ghost Messenger Lao Fan, except that the range is much smaller.

"Uncle Hei! You are so awesome!" Guo Fan exclaimed, and his heart was completely relieved.

"Woof!!!"

Lao Hei howled to the sky, and the knocking on the door continued. The human skin balls that came in like an ocean also continued, with no end in sight.

If Lao Hei was a ghost rider, he would probably be exhausted to death here, killed by the resurrected evil spirit.

Unfortunately, it is also a ghost, a fully revived evil ghost!

When the degree of terror is at different levels, numbers are no longer the key to determining the outcome of the battle.

"The next step is to wait here for the boss and his friends. With the boss's ability, he will be fine. Lao Hei, we..."

boom!
Before Guo Fan could finish his words, he heard a loud explosion above his head.

He looked up quickly and saw that the old roof was pressed into the shape of a dog's paw. The corners of his mouth twitched immediately.

Although this taxi looks old, it is a real ghost taxi, affected by the supernatural. No matter how old and shabby it looks, its hardness is extremely terrifying, and it is impossible to leave any traces on it by brute force.

Obviously, Lao Hei is no less terrifying than Ghost Taxi, and may even be much more terrifying.

And what caused all this?

"Uncle Black?"

Guo Fan shouted cautiously, and then he found that the dog paw print on the roof of the car slowly disappeared. Apparently, after losing the supernatural suppression, the Ghost Taxi repaired itself.

After a short silence, Guo Fan said helplessly: "Uncle Hei, we are relying on you now... Hey, is there anything new coming out there?"

Guo Fan suddenly saw someone coming out of a building next to him.

people?
Certainly not!

There can't be any living people here anymore!

This is a dead city.

When the figures came closer, Guo Fan finally saw his situation clearly.

This is... a ghost!

Their bodies were straight and their faces were covered with a piece of yellow paper, which seemed to have grown together with the skin and flesh, outlining the contours of their facial features.

Especially the eye sockets, which were deeply sunken.

Immediately after the first ghost with his face covered with yellow paper walked out of the stairs, the second ghost followed suit.

Judging from the second ghost's clothes and figure, it should be a female ghost, but the same thing happened with a piece of yellow paper stuck on its face, so no features could be seen, only an outline.

However, before Guo Fan could be surprised.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

Ghosts kept coming out of the building, one after another, as if they were endless.

In just a moment, the quiet streets of the county town became lively again except for the tide of human skin balls.

The ghosts with their faces covered with yellow paper gathered together and stood there quietly without moving.

The balls rolling around hit the legs of these evil spirits, but had no effect on them, nor did they break or explode. Instead, after getting close to this group of evil spirits, the balls were deflated and shriveled up for some unknown reason, losing their spiritual power and becoming unable to explode.

"The supernatural power on the ball has been taken away? Was it this group of ghosts who did this? Wait! That ghost..."

Guo Fan's pupils suddenly shrank. He actually saw that the yellow paper on a ghost's face had slightly risen and fallen, as if it was breathing. "Damn it! This is not an uninhabited town, it's clearly a ghost town! An old leather ball, a ghost covered with yellow paper... Uncle Hei, these ghosts seem to be recovering, should we take action first?"

Lao Hei didn't move, but continued to stand on the roof and knock on the door of the ghost taxi to prevent the human skin ball from approaching.

"I knew that ghosts are unreliable. We can only hope that Lao Hei is strong enough and doesn't trap us all here." Guo Fan stared at the ghosts covered with yellow paper.

The road was already filled with densely packed evil spirits.

The sheer number alone made Guo Fan want to die, and Fang Shiming, He Yuelian, and the two ghosts, the ghost catcher and Lao Hua, also encountered similar situations.

They originally needed to walk three blocks to find Lin Yuan.

But after walking only two streets, those ghosts covered with yellow paper came out from the buildings on both sides of the street. They were so dense that it made people's scalps numb.

No matter how reluctant He Yuelian was, she had no choice but to take action.

Fortunately, the old ball was restrained by the ghost and could not get close, otherwise she would... Wait! The range of the ghost's restriction has become smaller, how is it possible?

Originally, the ghost catcher could suppress the old leather ball a hundred meters away. However, with the appearance of these ghosts, the effect of the ghost catcher seemed to disappear and could no longer have any effect on the human leather ball.

Countless old balls rushed over again like the sea.

The ghost messenger Lao Fan seemed to have lost the ability to move, and actually fell headfirst onto Fang Shiming's back, which made Fang Shiming's face change drastically, "How is this possible?"

"This is normal. There are too many ghosts around, more than the ghost catcher can suppress. But shouldn't it be unconscious?"

He Yuelian didn't understand the ghost's current state, but she didn't say anything more. Pieces of paper ashes began to fall from the sky, covering all directions with He Yuelian as the center.

The human skin balls stained with paper ash all disappeared abruptly.

It didn't explode, didn't shrivel, it just... disappeared.

However, as she moved, the quiet ghosts covered with yellow paper on the street all turned their heads and looked over.
