I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 568 Taboo, the Chosen Worker Nie Yingping

"Who are you and why are you here?"

In the Gengshen year, Wang Lu looked at the woman in front of him calmly, but he was already prepared to take action, because this woman... came out from the Peace Hotel.

Since his last visit to the Peace Hotel, he has lost his memory of the future, but he still remembers everything that happened in the Peace Hotel.

Of course, except for the identities of those guests.

It seems that this arrangement was made in order to prevent him from making any arrangements in advance after knowing these circumstances, which would affect everything in this world.

These are also the rules he set specifically for special beings like him who are traveling from the "past" to the "present".

It felt bad to have a piece of his memory forcibly dug out, even though his body and spirit did not feel any discomfort. So during this period of time, he did not enter the Peace Hotel, but kept monitoring the place.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go in again, but he is waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity not to travel to the Peace Hotel of the future, but to return to the Peace Hotel of the present.

He wanted to talk to the current Lin Yuan, who was the store manager of the same generation as him. He was not so high and mighty, making people confused and unable to understand him. Instead, he was like an older brother, approachable and... easier to communicate with.

Everything had been peaceful for the past few days, but he never expected that a woman would suddenly appear today, and this woman gave him a very contradictory feeling.

It seemed to have terrifying strength, but it didn't seem as strong as he imagined, giving him an awkward feeling of being torn apart.

Zhang Youhong looked at Wang Lu and chuckled, "My name is Zhang Youhong. Before I tell you my identity, can you tell me where this place is? Or, what time is it here?"

While speaking, she took a look at the clothes on Wang Lu.

This dress is exquisitely made, but whether in terms of style or other aspects, it is clearly not the simple and luxurious style of modern times, but rather very retro.

Although there are people who wear retro clothes, many ghost riders who have lived for a long time prefer to wear clothes from their own era, but...

"Zhang Youhong? Let me give you a suggestion. Don't say your name easily, otherwise you will be easily targeted. After all, in this circle, name is also a kind of medium." Wang Lu reminded, releasing his kindness.

Zhang Youhong accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Seeing the other party like this, Wang Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained the era and timeline he was in, as well as his own identity.

Dadong City, Wang Family, the current leader, Wang Lu!
Zhang Youhong asked, "Just now I told you not to reveal your name easily. Now, do you think you have acknowledged me?"

"No, I just have enough confidence in my own strength. At least, it is not something that a special existence like you can fight against." Wang Lu said lightly.

What Zhang Youhong is using now is a supernatural body made by dyeing. It is not her own body, nor is it Liu Qingqing's body. It is very special.

Zhang Youhong didn't take it too seriously when her differences were noticed. Instead, she became more certain of one thing:
This world is a virtual game world and is still within the scope of his ghost domain, otherwise her body would not be able to exist!

Just like in the Dadong City branch.

His ghost domain did not cover the entire Dadong City, but only covered the branch, so she and her friends could only move within the scope of the branch and could not leave.

"Is this another test to meet you? Or is this just a simple game?" Zhang Youhong was a little confused.

She had originally started to break into the store in the middle of the night, wanting to see the real Him, but the ghost Luo Wensong and the starving ghost were obviously letting her go, allowing her to easily reach the store door.

But after entering the store, I came directly here!
After a brief moment of confusion, Zhang Youhong regained her spirits and muttered to herself, "Whether this is a test or not, it's fine as long as I pass the level. To pass a game, do I have to defeat the boss or other players?"

Zhang Youhong's temperament was very deceptive, and since she came from the Peace Hotel, her strength did not give people an extreme sense of threat, so Wang Lu brought her back to Dadong City and brought her home.

When Wang Lu's wife first met Zhang Youhong, her eyes became sharper.

But the scene that people liked to see did not appear, and she did not really doubt anything because of this, and then she and Wang Lu greeted the other party together.

The dining table was almost full of delicious food.

Zhang Youhong looked at these delicacies with regret. "I have lost the right to use them now. What you want to ask is what will happen in the future, right?"

Her current identity had already been revealed by Zhang Youhong, and this was also an important reason why she was treated with courtesy by the Wang family.

When she was still sharing a body with Liu Qingqing, she had already seen Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu come to the store and knew what they cared about most.

Making good use of every advantage you have is the most basic ability to survive in that era.

Wang Lu nodded. "Since I can't bring back my memories from the store, will you also be restricted in this regard when you come here? I'm very curious."

"I don't know, but I can try."

Zhang Youhong was also very curious about this, so she randomly picked some "current" things to talk about, but looking at the confused and solemn expressions on Wang Lu and his wife's faces, she knew that her biggest advantage would be invalidated, "Can't you hear it?"

"No, I don't understand."

Wang Lu shook his head. He could obviously communicate normally with Zhang Youhong, but when Zhang Youhong talked about the future, her voice turned into a bunch of noise.

Obviously, it is impossible to find a bug, so...

"In that case, I'll take my leave now. I'll contact you if you have anything else."

Zhang Youhong stood up and was about to leave, but when she turned around, she saw two scary old men blocking her way. This made her laugh happily, "Mr. Wang, are you planning to keep me here? I just don't know if your wife will be jealous."

However, what responded to her were the cold faces of Wang Lu and his wife.

"You must have entered this world through a virtual game, right?" Wang Lu said.

Zhang Youhong was very surprised, "How do you know about virtual games?"

"It was Wang Chaling, my future son, who told me. Although I don't know the reason, I understood and still remember what he said to me after entering the virtual game."

The most truthful lie in the world is nine truths and one lie!
Most of what Wang Lu said was true, but there was one thing: he could understand the words of Wang Chaling who entered here through a virtual game, but after the virtual game ended, the only thing he could remember was the virtual game itself.

It was only when he went to the "present" Peace Hotel that he could truly remember it.

Otherwise, according to the game settings, how could they remember this setting after the virtual game was restarted?
Zhang Youhong seemed to be frightened. "I see. Does it require a blood connection? It seems that Mr. Wang is not honest either. He has been trying to trick me from the beginning. It's really sad."

"Since you are hurt, then leave your heart here with you. Although I don't know what the goal of this virtual game is, nor whether he will enter this game, whether it is for him to eliminate a competitor or to maintain peace in this era, I beg you, go to hell!"

Wang Lu's tone was extremely cold.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two terrifying and illusory old men took action.

As if teleporting, he appeared directly next to Zhang Youhong. With just one move, he tore Zhang Youhong into two halves, quickly and efficiently, without any delay.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu did not show any joy on their faces. Instead, their expressions became increasingly solemn.

Zhang Youhong, who was torn apart, was not dead, and not even a drop of blood was shed. Instead, she smiled at Wang Lu and his wife, "Thank you for your hospitality. I will remember this favor."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Youhong, who was torn into two halves, turned into a wooden man.

"What you brought back was a fake body. After going to the Peace Hotel of the future, your vigilance has become lower and lower." The woman frowned.

Wang Lu did not explain. He did a good job in this matter. "It doesn't matter. Now that we know that a new round of virtual games has begun, we can prepare in advance. Although after the game is over, there will be a range restart to make everything return to normal, but we can't let others bully us!"

"You're right. Especially the future Chen Qiaoyang, he seems to have a special obsession with us. We can't let anyone underestimate him!"

……

"It's Dadong City again. It seems that I really have a connection with the Wang family of Dadong City."

On the hilltop in the eastern suburbs of Dadong City, Chen Qiaoyang narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Dadong City, a city he had been to several times. Xiong Wenwen beside him had a look of disgust on his face. "So, it's really boring to play games with you. What's fun in this wilderness? Just go to the city! Just like the Wang family you hate, just crush them. Don't you have the ability to do it? No way? No way? If you can't do it, I doubt whether you are really able to help me and let my mother and Brother Yuan fall in love."

In a fight, you rely on your fists.

Being a matchmaker requires brains.

Is there any inevitable connection between the two?
Chen Qiaoyang strongly disagreed with this, but those who tried to reason with a naughty child were all mentally ill. There was nothing wrong with his brain, so he naturally would not follow Xiong Wenwen's line of thought.

"My main task in this round of the game is to keep an eye on Shen Lin. I don't know where that guy ran off to. Fortunately, the game map is so small. As long as I become stronger, I will definitely be able to find him easily.

There are much fewer people participating in the game this time, which makes it easier for me to develop. So I have to avoid Zhang Xianguang in advance. That sinister guy always likes to swing his knife in secret, which is too scary. "

As he was thinking, Chen Qiaoyang suddenly felt a deadly threat coming. Even though he was protected by four evil spirits, he still didn't feel safe enough, so he pulled Xiong Wenwen up and dodged without saying a word.

As soon as he left, the place where he was originally standing seemed to be split open by some sharp weapon.

A deep ravine appeared. If Chen Qiaoyang had moved a step later, he would have been torn apart. This made the hair on his back stand on end, and he ran away without saying a word.

"This madman actually attacked me right at the start. Doesn't he want to take advantage of me?"

Chen Qiaoyang cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to hesitate for the moment. Even though he saw a large number of "wild monsters" on the road, he did not stop for a moment.

"Hey, hey, hey! You're not really that weak, are you?"

Xiong Wenwen was held under the armpit, with a look of disgust and contempt on her face. At the same time, she began to think seriously, "Perhaps, Xiao Zhang's place is more suitable for me?"

"You can go back if you are not afraid of death." Chen Qiaoyang's voice was cold, without any emotion.

I don’t know whether the “death” he mentioned was brought by Zhang Xianguang or... by him.

Xiong Wenwen seemed to be frightened and finally stopped talking. At their previous location, Nie Yingping looked at the fleeing Chen Qiaoyang and said speechlessly, "Your swordsmanship is getting worse and worse. You couldn't even succeed in a sneak attack. Don't tell me you are letting me win on purpose."

"Chen Qiaoyang's power is good for clearing small monsters. He doesn't help us accumulate points, but wastes time here. Naturally, we need to urge him to score a few points."

Zhang Xianguang stood quietly in the sun, enjoying the warmth it brought. "Compared to that rubbish, this virtual game seems a little different."

"What do you mean?" Nie Yingping was confused, his eyes full of doubt.

They entered the virtual game together and have never been separated. How come you are the only one who noticed something different, but I didn't?

Could it be that I am actually a waste?

Anyway, Nie Yingping would never admit this. "We came here just to find him. Now that we know the place, why don't we just go there directly? Will he open a store in Taiping Town again this time?"

Nie Yingping shuddered when he thought of that haunted place.

He and Zhang Xianguang had died several times in that ghost place, and each time they were besieged by a group of old guys. That feeling was so sour!

If the Peace Hotel really opens there again, can he take a leave?

After all, he really works hard!

Zhang Xian left the team, and Chen Qiaoyang simply rebelled. There were only a few teammates left. In order to support them in participating in the virtual game, especially the teleportation costs to Taiping Ancient Town, they have become the chosen workers, dealing with supernatural events day and night, collecting evil spirits in exchange for money to buy their lives!

Even though he always follows Zhang Xianguang around and acts like "I'm Boss Zhang's close confidant", he actually follows Zhang Xianguang around to deal with supernatural incidents when he has nothing to do.

Otherwise, when Chen Qiaoyang abducted Xiong Wenwen, he wouldn't have been so hasty and anxious. It was really because there was not enough time!
If I go to Hongming Village again, not only will I have to experience the "satisfaction" of being besieged to death by a group of old ghosts, but I will also waste several ghosts. This is too much of a loss!

"Let's go over there and take a look at the situation first. There are not many players in this game, so the competition is not that fierce. Let's wait for Chen Qiaoyang to gather all the resources, and then come find him."

Zhang Xianguang didn't take Chenqiao Sheep seriously at all... No, he should have treated Chenqiao Sheep as a resource collector and would extract it after collecting enough.

Nie Yingping had no objection to this. "As long as we don't go to Taiping Town right now, it's fine. But that ghost place is really too scary. There is obviously no danger in reality."

In real life, he had never been to Taiping Ancient Town before.

It was not until later when Taiping Ancient Town was flooded by the Ghost Lake that Lin Yuan was attracted to go there. He then followed Zhang Xianguang on the trip. But at that time, the only people left in Taiping Ancient Town were Boss Liu, the faceless man, the middle-aged woman, and He Yiner.

The strength of these four people is basically not enough.

Zhang Xianguang didn't even need to take action, he was confident that he could defeat them one by one. It was nothing like in the virtual game, where every time he arrived at Taiping Ancient Town, he would be besieged by a bunch of old ghosts.

How did Taiping Town, which was so glorious in the past, become so desolate in reality?
Nie Yingping's mind is full of question marks now, but unfortunately, even Zhang Xianguang can't give a reasonable answer to this question.

On the way to the predicted location, the two also encountered some evil spirits that were obviously foreigners, wandering in the mountains and forests in the suburbs.

If it was the first time he encountered this during the game, Zhang Xianguang would naturally not show mercy.

He has always been the first to fight to kill those foreigners who dared to invade this land, but now it is clear that these are just wild monsters that Lin Yuan has thrown into the game. They have no intelligence, only instincts. They are purely evil spirits with changed images. There is no point in doing so.

Only those who are so blind as to dare to block his way would be cut in half by Zhang Xianguang and he would get one point.

The journey was very smooth and we arrived at the location of the Peace Hotel in the previous virtual game. There were still people coming and going here, but it can be seen that the proportion of small cars has obviously increased a lot.

"It seems that it has been a while since the last time. Perhaps we will make another trip in vain." Nie Yingping said weakly.

Zhang Xianguang didn't respond and just walked over.

The Peace Hotel is located in a ghost town. Even if ordinary people go there, they cannot enter without supernatural powers.

As soon as Zhang Xianguang walked over, he noticed something strange. Supernatural powers began to invade. Soon, the noise and ridicule on the road behind him disappeared, and on the open space in front of him, there appeared the Peace Hotel connected by a bluestone path.

The style of the Peace Hotel is very different from the real one.

It is not more luxurious, but more simple, and looks more in line with this era, except for the flashing neon lights, which are still as bright as ever.

"It seems that we have good luck this time." Nie Yingping breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you don't go to Hongming Village and Taiping Ancient Town, you won't be besieged by a group of old ghosts, and you won't have to deal with supernatural events immediately after leaving the game.

Abbreviation:
Work to pay off debts!
It feels like a group of young internet addicts who go around looking for day-paying jobs just to play games online. Once they make some money, they go to Internet cafes to stay overnight. They play until they run out of money, and then go out to look for day-paying jobs again.

Just thinking about it, my eyes are filled with tears!

How could I, a young man with great ambitions and striving for world peace, suddenly fall to this point, and do it willingly and without any regrets?

Compared with Nie Yingping's rich and colorful emotions, Zhang Xianguang does not have so many messy thoughts.

There was no one behind the store and it looked very deserted.

Just as Zhang Xianguang was about to ask, or even go upstairs, he heard heavy footsteps on the stairs, which made him frown slightly.

This footsteps does not belong to the store manager!
The manager's footsteps were very light, so light that they were almost inaudible. It was impossible for them to be this kind of sound, so... before Zhang Xianguang could think about it, a terrifying figure appeared from the stairs on the second floor.

When he saw this figure, Zhang Xianguang grabbed Nie Yingping without saying a word and ran out of the store.

Looking at that posture, it's clear that he's running away!

Only after they had completely left the Peace Hotel did Nie Yingping seem to come to his senses. He asked in disbelief, "Why are we running?"

He also saw what had just appeared from the second floor.

He is dressed like a vendor and is carrying a shoulder pole with a cargo box hung on the front and back of the pole. This look is clearly that of a peddler!

This is a very ferocious ghost. The chances of winning in a head-on confrontation are slim.

But the problem is, that place is the Peace Hotel, within his ghost domain, and everything must abide by his rules. Even the ghost peddler's killing rules have been changed, and it is impossible for him to kill people easily.

So, what are they running away from?
"Didn't you notice?"

Zhang Xianguang said solemnly, "That ghost is still in the form of a ghost, and has not been transformed into an animal. Also, when have you ever seen a ghost that can go up to the second floor? Aside from the ghost messenger Li Qingzhi, who has been recruited as a clerk by him?"

Nie Yingping thought about it carefully and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Zhang Xianguang said.

But if all this is true, then it represents a very horrible truth: "You, you are not going to say that the Peace Hotel has been breached and he is dead? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Over the past few months, the invincible image of Lin Yuan from Peace Hotel has been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Now suddenly it is said that the Peace Hotel was destroyed, even he is dead, and he has lost control of the Peace Hotel. Isn't this a little too unbelievable?
"We are still in the virtual game, which means that he is still there in reality. So my guess is that he in this era gave up the medium outside Dadong City, so this situation happened." Zhang Xianguang said.

Nie Yingping finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's what I said. If even he is going to die, then..."

If even he who is almost invincible and has no limit can be killed by ghosts, then this world is really too hopeless.

So the question is, was the Peace Hotel really abandoned in the Gengshen year?
Could it be that we have to go to Taiping Town again?
