Chapter 573: The Legend of Zhang Dong and the Ghost Peddler, the Real BOSS
"Ghost Peddler? Like Meng Xiaodong, has it returned to this era? Then, how did it appear outside the Wall of White Mist? Is that the real Gengshen Year?
So that's how it is. The manager connected the real Dadong City with the Dadong City of Gengshen Year through the ghost realm, but is this necessary?
Since the Dadong City of the Gengshen Year has been circled and used as a virtual game place, why does it still affect the real Dadong City? Is it because of the scope reset? "

Wang Chaling’s mind was a little confused.

The smarter a person is, the more ideas he or she has, and the more likely he or she is to think of many details that ordinary people don't notice.

This is an advantage, but it is also a huge disadvantage or even a big problem at times. Just like now, with the blessing of supernatural powers, Wang Cha Ling's mind is clearer and he thinks of more things, but this also makes his thoughts more confused.

Unless he can find the real answer, his mind will continue to be in such a mess.

But without enough information, how could he guess what the real situation was?

After the ghost peddler put away the goods, he suddenly turned his head and looked over, and happened to meet Wang Chaling's eyes. The cold and numb look made Wang Chaling subconsciously take a step back.

It was this step that made him lose his vision outside the wall of white fog.

He reacted quickly and hurried forward again, wanting to peek into the outside world again.

"With the White Fog Wall there, even the Ghost Peddler can't violate its rules. I don't need to worry or be afraid. The most important thing now is to find more information. Perhaps, I can take this opportunity to truly return to the Gengshen Year and truly take a look at this era!"

Wang Chaling’s idea was good, but when he pounced forward again.

The solid high wall boundary just now suddenly disappeared, and he rushed directly into nothingness, and then the surroundings were still white.

He has lost the qualification to peek into the Gengshen year.

"Wang Chaling is a very thoughtful kid. I finally managed to get through the passage to the Gengshen Year. How can I let a sneaking kid like you take advantage of me for free?"

The ghost peddler, or Lin Yuan, felt very disdainful.

However, this time the harvest was quite a lot, except for one thing, "The ghost riders of this era are really in short supply. That's right, after all, there are people guarding several passages, especially Zhang Dong. Unless he wants, few ghosts can get away from under his nose.

Unfortunately, even so, he couldn't kill all the living ghost riders and send the ghosts they rode back to the spiritual land, so the so-called spiritual era has never ended. It's just that the ghost bodies are sealed in human bodies. When the human body decays, the ghosts will still appear. "

Using the ghost peddler's body, Lin Yuan gathered all the people who had just been peeking around into the cargo compartment.

These people are all quite old, with the youngest being in his early forties, which explains a lot.

However, the ghost peddler's supernatural powers are really useful, and there is still some time, so he plans to use the ghost peddler's body as a medium to take a good look at this world.

The bright sky suddenly darkened.

The sun's radiance gradually faded, and an unknown mysterious land began to descend... No, it was not that the mysterious land descended into reality, but that Lin Yuan was invading the mysterious land.

He wants to enter the supernatural world from reality!
He did not use his own power, but the ghost peddler's supernatural power. This is one of the reasons why he said the ghost peddler's power is useful.

This ghost peddler actually has an effect similar to that of a ghost bus. It can easily tear the boundary between reality and the ghost world and invade the past.

Although it relies on a medium, this method alone surpasses most ghost riders.

Using the spiritual land as a springboard, you can travel to another reality at a much faster speed.

"In fact, the most convenient way is to use the ghost domain to transform into a rainbow. There are many top ghost masters in this era, and they can all stay at the Peace Hotel. But unfortunately, Zhang Dong is probably also watching me. Using Dadong City as a base and medium, as long as it does not overly affect this world, he will not stop me, and there is no way to stop me. The passage to Dadong City has been opened by me. If he can close it, he would not have retreated last time. But if I leave Dadong City through the ghost domain in a high-profile manner and go to other places, he will definitely stop me."

Lin Yuan was very clear about this, so he did not continue to use Shen Lin or the ghost's body.

Shen Lin has good abilities. He is a person who lives in the memories of others. As long as he does not exceed a limit, death is at most the loss of a memory and he will have to restart in the past in the memories of others.

Such people are very difficult to kill!

Even in the historical line of mysterious revival, is Shen Lin really under the control of the source of the Ghost Lake, dead, and robbed of his supernatural powers?
There is no need to say much about the ghost catcher. That kind of mindless suppression power does not need any further explanation. It is an extremely terrifying and powerful force!
Like the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, the Ghost Messenger also belongs to the type with supernatural powers superimposed on him.

In other words.

As long as the number of supernatural powers it has is sufficient, it can theoretically take on the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, even Zhang Dong. It is theoretically feasible.

But their power is not suitable for now.

There are limitations to borrowing another person's body. Lin Yuan cannot use too much power beyond the target, even if it is a ghost messenger who has become a puzzle piece of the Peace Hotel.

So, he needs to choose the most suitable one.

The power of the ghost peddler allows him to travel into the spiritual land at will, rather than the ghost realm's forceful invasion of the spiritual land, which is the most appropriate.

Lin Yuan was about to head to the next place when he stepped onto the winding path, but suddenly stopped and frowned at the old man who suddenly appeared in front of him. "You react so quickly?"

"Your ghost domain is too obvious, even in this era, it is like the bright moon in the night sky. How can I turn a blind eye to it?" The old man spoke slowly, his tone neither hurried nor slow.

He looks like an extremely ordinary old man.

But this old man is the most terrifying existence of this era:

Zhang Dong!

Lin Yuan didn't even figure out how Zhang Dong had invaded and stood in his way.

Although he could not use his full strength with the help of the Ghost Peddler, the way Zhang Dong appeared did give him a headache. "I have heard some rumors about the Ghost Peddler before."

Zhang Dong asked gently, "Oh? What's the rumor?"

"It is said that the Ghost Peddler was also an extremely terrifying ghost rider when he was alive. He was extremely arrogant and thought that he was invincible. In the end, he challenged you, but was defeated by you. He was unwilling to accept this and thought that the gap between you and him was not unbridgeable. So he turned into a peddler and traveled all over this land, trading with people for the supernatural things he needed as goods, constantly stacking his own status, trying to surpass you and then defeat you. It's a pity that he failed in the end. He died until the evil ghost revived and was unable to hold on until the moment he appeared in front of you again."

Listening to Lin Yuan's story, Zhang Dong's calm face also showed a hint of surprise, "This rumor... is actually quite interesting."

"Really? But I think it's ridiculous. After occupying its body, I found that the gap between it and you is too big. If it really fights with you, it will not have a chance to escape, and it is even more impossible for it to have the idea of ​​surpassing you and fighting against you." Lin Yuan said seriously.

The two people who were supposed to start a confrontation and fight here actually started chatting like old friends.

The picture is indescribably harmonious, even friendly.

"Maybe there is some misunderstanding. After all, a thing may become unrecognizable after being passed through the mouths of three people. The wider it spreads, the more so." Zhang Dong also felt very emotional.

Apparently, he was also one of the victims of this situation.

Lin Yuan looked behind him.

His invasion was not yet complete, or in other words, he was stopped by Zhang Dong in the process of traveling from reality to the spiritual place, so that when he turned around he could still see the scene in reality and the towering wall of white fog.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan took a step back.

He returned to reality from the path leading to the mysterious land. Without the barrier of space, he could also feel the power of the white fog wall, which gave him more confidence.

Zhang Dong followed out and stood in the sun with Lin Yuan.

He looked around and finally looked in one direction, where a man in his early fifties was peeking at him.

But after noticing Zhang Dong's gaze, the man's whole body shook, and after revealing a flattering smile, he turned into a black light and soared into the sky.

Turn into a rainbow!

"You see, someone has discovered our 'confrontation' here. Perhaps he will spread the rumor about me and the peddler, just like what you just said." Zhang Dong said.

If you think about it carefully, this might actually be the case.

Lin Yuan is now confronting Zhang Dong in the body of the ghost peddler. At least on the surface, he and Zhang Dong are evenly matched and it seems that neither can do anything to the other.

If this gets out.

Isn't it the plot that after the ghost peddler improves his strength, he finds Zhang Dong to avenge his previous shame?

"So that's how it is. These rumors were created because of me?"

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, "But this is not important. What's important is that I have no ill will towards this era. I just want to see if there are any potential customers. It can be regarded as expanding business. There is no need to stop me, right?"

"You don't belong to this era. One Dadong City is enough."

Zhang Dong didn't say anything profound, and he didn't even have the intention of reasoning with Lin Yuan. This was something that gave Lin Yuan a headache, because this meant that if he wanted to "travel" through this era, he had to defeat Zhang Dong.

He is not so sure now.

As a person who travels through time and space and does not have complete spiritual power, he cannot possibly be a match for Zhang Dong who has not yet entered his weak period.

If the past and the present were connected, then the Zhang Dongs of his generation would appear at the same time, and he would then have to face the same number of Zhang Dongs as himself.

Again, he had little chance of winning.

"Sure enough, my strength is too weak. In this case, let's use Dadong City as the boundary. But if anyone wants to come to Dadong City, I hope you won't stop them." Lin Yuan stated his final condition.

Zhang Dong nodded and said, "Everyone has their own choice. I won't make decisions for them."

"That's good."

At this point, there was no need for the two to continue communicating. A faint white mist drifted out from the ghost peddler's body, constantly flying towards the direction of the white mist wall, and constantly blending into it.

The white mist in the ghost peddler's pupils was also gradually fading.

It looked at Zhang Dong calmly, and the tone that was full of emotions and feelings before was gradually becoming numb and cold, as if it was gradually changing from a human to a ghost!

"In my present life, you are almost dead. After you die, I will let you stay at the Peace Hotel. Then, I will come here to visit you again."

"If that day really comes, I will be looking forward to it."

The next moment, the white mist in the ghost peddler's body disappeared, and it regained its original state. In this state, it glanced at Zhang Dong, turned around and took a step forward.

Darkness and the winding path descended again, the ghost peddler walked up, and then disappeared.

Zhang Dong did not stop him. He was just a ghost peddler. Although the strength of the supernatural power was very high, he did not take it seriously.

Nowadays, he rarely interferes with the development of the times.

Unless someone like Lin Yuan appeared, he would not come out of the old house in the forest. "It's time to go back, otherwise all the trees at home will be ripped off."

……

Walking on the ghost street and looking at the lively scenes around him, Shen Lin frowned slightly.

"Isn't it said that the Red Name Village is very scary and will be besieged as soon as it arrives? I've made preparations to restart it again, but the people here actually treat me as if I don't exist?"

Just as he said.

Ghost Street is very lively, with people coming and going, and many people doing business here. The shops on both sides of the street are basically open and doing business.

Selling masks...

The paper seller...

Currency exchange...

Selling Chinese medicine...

Selling ready-made clothes...

Walking on this street, Shen Lin felt like he was back in the market place decades ago. The only problem was that these people seemed not to see him and no one paid any attention to him.

Even the owner of the stall who was selling goods greeted everyone who came and went, but ignored him who was standing in front of the stall.

If he had used psychic powers and was facing a group of ordinary people, it would not be strange, but he did not use any psychic powers now, and the people coming and going, whether they were customers or shop owners, gave him a very scary feeling.

Obviously, these people are all powerful ghost riders, so it is impossible for them not to see him.

So, why?

"The things here should all be supernatural objects. If that's the case, can I..."

Thinking of a possibility, Shen Lin tentatively reached out to the mask stall in front of him.

No one can refuse the joy of getting something for free!
If it were in reality, there would still be the constraints of laws and morals, and it would be difficult to make a purchase for free. But this is a virtual game, how could it be subject to these restrictions?

Since it is a virtual game, the cost and price of trial and error will be infinitely reduced.

Shen Lin directly took out a mask. It was a mask in the shape of an evil ghost. It was very delicately made and looked like a real ghost face.

When he picked it up, he felt a cold breath rising up, making his body that did not exist in reality feel a little chilly.

Shen Lin's face was solemn, "This mask is very good!"

"If it's good, buy it. It's very cheap and only costs... one life."

The hoarse voice made Shen Lin's face change drastically. He looked up suddenly and saw that the owner of the mask stall who had ignored him just now was now staring at him with a cold and numb face.

Not only that.

The originally bustling street had now become quiet. He looked around carefully and saw that all the passers-by on the street had stopped, staring at him with the same cold and numb eyes.

Various cold and gloomy air continued to pour out, carrying with them varying degrees of stench and strange smells.

"Damn it! Have I violated the rules of murder? The rules of murder are, whore for free?"

The terrifying spiritual aura made Shen Lin break out in cold sweat on his forehead, but the attack from this group of people did not come immediately, as if something was missing.

"Yes, I haven't paid yet, but I didn't take the mask away by force!"

Shen Lin tried to put the mask back on the stall, and then watched the silent street become lively again. The owner of the mask stall looked at him, then smiled again and continued to attract customers.

"Luckily! Fortunately! I haven't found the store manager of this era yet, and I spent an extra nine dollars to buy my life. I can't be kicked out like this."

Shen Lin secretly warned himself not to act rashly, and then he walked around the street again, trying to find Lin Yuan's trace.

However, he did not notice that in the Chinese medicine shop across the street, someone was watching his every move, and only looked away when he completely disappeared from the blind spot.

“This is not the real Ghost Street, nor is it the real Taiping Town.”

The one who spoke was Meng Xiaodong.

Meng Xiaodong, born in the year of Gengshen, was also dressed simply. A vegetable basket covered with floral cloth was placed on a small wooden table next to him, revealing a rag doll's leg.

Sitting opposite her was Zhang Bohua.

Like Wang Chaling, he also sneaked into this game, but it was not his will, he was forcibly pulled in.

Although he was blind, his ears were still very sensitive, allowing him to clearly hear the location of Meng Xiaodong in Gengshen Year. "This is a virtual game, Hongming Village, Taiping Ancient Town. It is naturally not a real ghost street of this era. You will understand it when you have more opportunities to enter the game in the future."

At the beginning, he also thought that the game was a true presentation of that past era.

But after entering it once in person, he found something wrong.

All I can say is that the cities in the game are 90% similar to the towns in reality, but there are also 10% differences, and this 10% difference creates the most essential difference between reality and games.

"Of course, you can also think that this is the real ghost street of this era. It's just that everyone here has been given another life and another set of rules by Him, the rules of the game world."

Meng Xiaodong thought for a while and said, "I came from Dadong City. The situation in Dadong City is completely different from here. It's not so weird. But the whole Dadong City is restricted. It's a circular high wall made of white fog, which blocks the whole Dadong City, just like this town. After I entered the white fog, I crossed a long distance and appeared directly now."

"Dadong City? It seems my guess is correct. And you can't get out now, at least not until this game is over."

After a pause, Zhang Bohua continued, "Everyone here has his or her own identity. For example, I am the owner of this Chinese medicine shop. This is my original identity. What about you?"

Gengshen Year Meng Xiaodong shook his head, "I don't know, but I will know it eventually."

Zhang Bohua suddenly turned his head towards the door. Although he could not see, he seemed to have noticed the person who came in, even though Meng Xiaodong did not notice. "Boss Lin, can you tell us our identities? It should not have any impact. After all, we should not be able to take the memories of this place away with us."

In the Gengshen Year, Meng Xiaodong turned around suddenly and saw Lin Yuan walking in from the door.

She stood up quickly and asked with a complicated expression, "Boss Lin?"

"Well. Lao Zhang, you are really a smart man."

Lin Yuan walked in and did not deny Zhang Bohua's guess, which made Meng Xiaodong in Gengshen Year feel uneasy. "Boss Lin, can you tell me my identity in this game? Since I can't take away the memories here, let's end this game as soon as possible. I have my own things to do."

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, your identity is very simple. Do you know what a BOSS is? It is the strongest person in a game and is regarded as a target by all players."

Gengshen Year Meng Xiaodong thought for a while and suddenly said, "I understand a little bit, but for this role, isn't it more suitable for you, Boss Lin?"

When she was in Dadong City, she saw many people, including strangers but also acquaintances.

For example, Zhang Youhong, Zhang Xianguang, Chen Qiaoyang...

And these people seem to have only one goal, which is to find Lin Yuan, the "store manager" of this era!
Lin Yuan's smile froze, and he said helplessly: "That's not wrong, but unfortunately I don't have much interest in becoming a game boss. What's more, their value to me is not as great as I imagined."

This game is destined to be restarted.

Without having to worry about what he said being leaked out, Lin Yuan had fewer concerns. Otherwise, he would not have appeared here in such an identity and met with Zhang Bohua and Meng Xiaodong in the Gengshen Year.

But this woman was right about one thing.

The final boss of this game has not changed from beginning to end. It is him:
Lin Yuan, manager of Peace Hotel!

But only the BOSS hidden behind the scenes is a truly good BOSS, and those on the table are all stage BOSSes that provide emotional value to these players.

He won’t show his health bar!
