I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 593: Another Invitation to the God of the World, and Revenge

"Hu! Hu! Hu!"

He Yiner and Zhang Youhong's breathing became rapid. Looking at the old man in the ancient house, it was as if they were looking into a huge abyss that would swallow up even the light.

tread!
Lin Yuan took a step forward, and the depressing atmosphere disappeared instantly, which made He Yiner and Zhang Youhong both breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Zhang? Hello." Lin Yuan greeted with a smile.

Zhang Dong stared at Lin Yuan and said in a hoarse and slow voice, "Hello, Boss Lin, nice to see you again."

again?
It seems that there is someone who remembers what happened in the past, and Zhang Dong is one of them.

He Yiner began to ponder in her heart.

The headquarters has been looking for traces of the Peace Hotel in history, but they can only understand what happened in the past through virtual games, and the virtual games were developed by the Peace Hotel itself, so even if there is a lot of "history" in it, some people still have doubts.

Even when Yang Xiaotian, Wang Lu and his wife, Meng Xiaodong and others traveled through time and space to the Peace Hotel in the Gengshen year, they still could not completely dispel this suspicion.

Simply because the history they told could not be remembered or taken out of the Peace Hotel.

Now there is an old man who has lived from the Republic of China period to the present. As soon as he arrived, he started chatting with the "store manager" about past events, all of which proves that the Peace Hotel does have traces of history.

"If the people at headquarters knew about this, they would definitely be very excited and would ask questions. Unfortunately, I'm not Tong Qian."

He Yiner lowered her eyes.

Even now, she didn't know why Lin Yuan called her over, and Lin Yuan didn't talk to her, so she just had to be a small pendant obediently.

Safe, secure and hassle-free.

"I was invited by your sister. She said she had something to tell you." Lin Yuan shook his head and didn't want to talk to Zhang Dong about "meeting again".

His current personality is the separated consciousness of an ordinary person.

Even Zhang Dong couldn't see this clearly, so after staring at Lin Yuan for a long time, he didn't say much, nor did he force him to appear, but turned his gaze to Zhang Youhong.

Zhang Youhong's body stiffened, and an awkward smile appeared on her robot face. "Long time no see."

"It's been a few years since we last met. I know why you're here, but according to our previous agreement, it's not time yet. Of course, for Boss Lin's sake, I can let you in, but only you can go in." Zhang Dong spoke slowly, his tone cold and stiff.

However, it was this kind of indulgence that made Zhang Youhong silent.

Lin Yuan asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Are you unwilling to go home?"

"Of course not, it's just... forget it, let's come back when we have the chance." Zhang Youhong sighed, her expression very complicated.

Her home is here, but the problem is that she is not the real Zhang Youhong, or not the complete Zhang Youhong.

Any room in this old house is filled with extreme danger and contains extremely terrifying supernatural powers. If you go in without sufficient strength, the final result will be terrible, even for the so-called owner.

Zhang Youhong's resurrection plan has been completed more than half, and only the last step is left. She doesn't want to let this life's work fail because of her momentary rashness.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "Okay, it's up to you. If there's nothing else, let's go out and don't disturb your brother. After all, your brother is not in good condition right now and needs more rest."

Zhang Youhong did not answer immediately. Her eyes passed Zhang Dong and fell on a table behind him. She suddenly said, "I want to take a stick of incense with me."

"These incense sticks are prepared for my burial, and none of them can be missing. If you want to burn incense for them, you can prepare them yourself." Zhang Dong shook his head and refused.

He didn't have long to live, less than a month.

During this time, he had prepared everything he needed for burial. All that remained was for someone to come and see him off.

Every item here is indispensable, so it is naturally impossible to give them to Zhang Youhong.

Zhang Youhong turned her head to look at Lin Yuan. The pitiful expression was clearly made on the robot's face, but it was very empathetic and contagious.

Perhaps, this is Zhang Youhong's unique charm.

Unfortunately, this charm had no effect on Lin Yuan. Instead, he began to teach her a lesson in a serious tone, "Your brother said that those were things prepared for his own funeral. How can you have the nerve to accept them?"

"Ah? Brother Yuan, you..." Zhang Youhong widened her eyes. She didn't expect that Lin Yuan not only did not pity her, but turned around and scolded her.

Just go ahead and refute her, but she has no way to refute it, and she dares not refute it.

Zhang Dong and the "store manager" were both people she couldn't afford to offend. She could only lower her head in grievance and muttered softly, "You guys are bullying me one by one. Fine, wait and see how I'll bully my nephew when I get home."

Zhang Dong glanced over, and there was a hint of doubt in his turbid eyes, as if he was saying: The nephew you are talking about is my son Zhang Xianguang, right? What about Lin Yuan? You take revenge on me by bullying Zhang Xianguang, so what can you use to take revenge on Lin Yuan?

Unfortunately, Zhang Youhong didn't even look at him.

Even if I read it, I would only give this response: Do you think I'm stupid? You want to live a good life by taking revenge on your boss?
"Old Zhang, has Xiao Ye been doing housework for you recently?" Lin Yuan did not mention Zhang Youhong anymore, but asked about Ye Zhen instead.

Housekeeping?

Zhang Dong said: "Maybe. He has been with me for a while and even said he wanted to challenge me. Unfortunately, this young man is too weak. Let him go to the forest to hone his skills."

"So that's how it is. It seems like you have raised a lot of ferocious beasts in this forest. I hope he can grow up." Lin Yuan nodded and improved the settings. "If he wants to leave, you won't stop him, right?"

Zhang Dong didn't answer, but just shook his head.

"That's fine. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Lin Yuan waved his hand to say goodbye.

Even though he is just a spiritual body now, it won’t have much impact even if it is lost, but it is his own thing after all, so it is better to keep it.

The old man Zhang Dong looks kind, but he is a terrifying being who can erase both people and ghosts from reality with a wave of his hand like an eraser.

Just because we can have a good chat now doesn't mean that this old guy won't do anything stupid.

So it would be better to leave quickly, but just as he turned around, the door that had been opened slammed shut, and Zhang Dong's faint voice came from behind him: "Since you are here, why not stay for a few more days, so that you can accompany an old man like me and walk the last part of the journey, how about it?"

He Yiner and Zhang Youhong became nervous instantly and hid behind Lin Yuan.

Even though they possess terrifying supernatural powers, at this moment, Lin Yuan's body, which looks like an ordinary person, makes them feel safer.

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "I should come back in half a month or so. The invitation you asked Lao Qin to send was for that time."

"Yeah, it's a pity that you came early." Zhang Dong said in a sad tone.

Lin Yuan frowned as the white mist around him surged, instantly engulfing He Yiner and Zhang Youhong. Their eyes also became dull at this moment, and finally slowly closed, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

"Your condition has recovered well and you can come to the real world for a long time. If you have another supplement and improvement, nothing in this world can stop you." Zhang Dong said.

Lin Yuan did not pretend to have cognitive impairment anymore, and said calmly: "After all, it is still a little bit worse. It is useless for you to keep me now. This is just a spiritual body. Even if I give it to you, it will not have much impact on me. You should know this, so do you have something to tell me?"

Zhang Dong's gaze fell on Zhang Youhong with a complicated look.

Lin Yuan understood, but he didn't make any move. As the white mist rolled, Zhang Youhong's body gradually returned from a robot to a normal person's appearance.

The red cheongsam, high heels, white jade-like skin, and beautiful appearance...

Such a woman will always be the focus of everyone's attention no matter when she is, but it is different here.

Zhang Dong looked at her for a long time, and suddenly sighed, "She is suffering."

Lin Yuan sneered, "Who in this world doesn't suffer? Old Zhang, don't you suffer? For the sake of this world, you sit here, guarding a place, but you can never go out. Even after death, you have made clear arrangements, and you still have to leave your body and your ghost here. Don't you suffer?"

Zhang Dong was surprised and said, "So there are people who can empathize with me? In that case, how about you come and sit here? Your Peace Hotel exists in the gap between nothingness and reality, but when you find a balance, you will eventually have to find a carrier in reality. How about choosing this place?"

Lin Yuan was so angry that he almost yelled, "Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang, I was kind-hearted and sympathetic to you, but you tried to drag me into the fire pit and jump out yourself. Do you think this is reasonable?"

“Don’t worry, even if you come in, I won’t leave. We can be companions then, and even on the road to the underworld after death, we’ll have someone to chat with.” Zhang Dong smiled.

It was just an ordinary smile, but it was extremely creepy. Lin Yuan fell silent, "It seems that you still don't trust me."

"You are too risky, too variable, and you are not the same person Xiao Qin chose. You are too casual. We can clearly know what you want to do, but we can never see how you will do it."

Zhang Dong was clearly looking at Lin Yuan, but his gaze seemed to have transcended this space and landed on an unknown distance. "Don't worry, it's a little difficult for me to keep you with my strength, so I can only try to convince you, but I can't force you."

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "I don't believe you. But don't worry, if you really die, I will come here in person to mourn for you. That's your only chance to keep me here, I hope you can seize it. Of course, if you lose, I won't do too many bad things, I will just take your body back to the Peace Hotel. Of course, I won't give up here either, after all, a normal human world is what I want to see, and someone will come to guard this place."

"That's good."

Zhang Dong did not continue with this topic. Everything would have to wait for more than half a month, until the seventh day after his burial, to be clear. No matter how much he said now, it would be meaningless.

But he still couldn't let go of Zhang Youhong, "I feel guilty towards her, I hope you can treat her better in the future."

"It depends on the situation. She is too smart. If she gets her complete self back, who knows what other little thoughts she will have then. But I have done her a favor. This time she is reborn. Although she is a spiritual body, she has retained her complete self. She does not need to merge with other people's consciousness to give birth to a seemingly true existence. Is that kind of resurrection really a resurrection? It is more like reincarnation and awakening to the mystery in the womb." Lin Yuan complained.

Zhang Dong seemed to have sensed Lin Yuan's attitude, which was a kind of intimacy towards an old friend. This finally made him smile, "Thank you."

"Don't be so polite. I also hope that the store can have a more useful person. In fact, you can also come to the store. My supernatural powers are quite special. As long as you are willing to come, I can extend your life. As long as you don't leave the Peace Hotel, I can ensure that your consciousness will be preserved." Lin Yuan suddenly became serious. "Meng Xiaodong should have told you about this. And you don't have to worry about problems here. Although I can't move the Peace Hotel here, I can open a branch and let you take charge to ensure that nothing will go wrong here. How about it?"

Zhang Dong said: "It's a very tempting proposal, but I have a question, will I really still be alive by then?"

Lin Yuan did not answer because there was no definite answer to this question.

What does it mean to be alive?

The body is alive, or the consciousness is alive?

According to the understanding of this era, as long as one can retain one's consciousness and does not need to force oneself to act according to the rules of killing, even if one's consciousness is deposited in the body of a ghost, one is still alive.

This is what is called:

Alien!

The white mist magically protects consciousness and has a miraculous effect on it. Even if the body is dead, it can protect the consciousness from extinction.

It is because of this cognition that his White Mist Seed attracts countless ghost riders of the new era, but what if it is a disapproval of this living being?

The path taken by the older generation is different from that of the ghost riders of the new era.

They took the path of supernatural superposition, taking the supernatural power of a ghost as the core, and constantly stacking its supernatural upper limit to reach an incredible level.

This is true for Meng Xiaodong, Luo Qian, Luo Wensong, Zhang Bohua, Zhang Youhong, Li Qingzhi, and Zhang Dong.

But one thing is that no matter how they stack their supernatural powers, they still retain their own consciousness while still retaining the bodies of living people.

It is for this reason that they grow old and reach the end of their lifespan and have to die.

But it is different for aliens. The death of aliens has nothing to do with the body. They have the bodies of evil spirits and never have to worry about the death of their bodies. Their demise is only based on the dissipation of consciousness.

To people like Zhang Dong, Lin Yuan's power is a blasphemy to their cognition and identity.

Lin Yuan didn't understand this before, but when he heard Zhang Dong ask him this question, he suddenly understood it, so he didn't answer the question, but asked the doubts that just arose: "Since you think this way, why do Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Bohua and others still stay in the Peace Hotel? By force? No, although their strength is not enough, people like you should not succumb to force."

How could it be possible that those who survived the Republic of China era, and participated in a horrific war that killed or injured countless top ghost riders at home and abroad, would surrender to the force?
What's more, when Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua entered the store, Lin Yuan always communicated with them as an ordinary person like a "store manager".

But before Zhang Dong could answer, Lin Yuan gave his own answer: "Zhang Bohua wants to see the arrival of real hope. In order to live longer, he..."

During the mysterious resurrection, in order to live longer and to see the moment of true hope, Zhang Bohua did not dismember his own soul until his death. Instead, he prepared a black coffin for himself to prevent himself from turning into a vicious person after death.

However, he was willing to leave only his head, even so he would try to live a few more days, to see if Yang Jian could create a new future and completely end the supernatural era!

Isn’t it the same for Zhang Bohua now?

He checked into the Peace Hotel in order to see hope for the future, so that he could live longer, even if it meant giving up his long-held belief in being a human being.

Even if he gave up his body, as long as his consciousness was still there, he would try his best to live and strive to see the arrival of a new era!

As for Meng Xiaodong...

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Dong with a strange look in his eyes.

Even though Zhang Dong had experienced countless storms and dealt with countless supernatural events, he still felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Lin Yuan.

It's not because of the things, but because of the people.

If it were anyone else, even if Zhang Youhong looked at him like this, he wouldn't have much emotional ups and downs, because Zhang Youhong was too far away from his level.

But Lin Yuan is different.

The two of them had only had a brief confrontation, but just from that one confrontation in different time and space, he was able to determine that Lin Yuan was at the same level as himself, and was not inferior to him.

It was also for this reason that Lin Yuan's every move made him particularly concerned, including this kind of look.

"The relationship between Xiaodong and I is rather complicated, but I really didn't expect that she would be willing to live in your store." Zhang Dong tried to end the topic.

However, Lin Yuan was unwilling to do so. "Tell me about it. You have been here alone for decades without anyone to chat with. It must be boring, right? Tell me the story between you and Meng Xiaodong. Maybe I can help take care of her a little more. After all, she has been waiting in Mingyue Community in Dachuan City for decades, which is no less than the time you have been here. And Zhang Xianguang's mother, your wife, is she an ordinary person, right?"

The corner of Zhang Dong's eyes twitched, as if he didn't expect Lin Yuan to be so at ease... unkind of a son!
Closing his eyes, Zhang Dong expressed his attitude, which made Lin Yuan very unhappy. "Old Zhang, I finally mustered up the courage to talk to you, and this is your attitude?"

Unfortunately, Zhang Dong ignored him and acted as if he had fallen asleep. This made Lin Yuan very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

What he came here with was just a spiritual body, and the spiritual power he could mobilize was limited.

And even if he tried his best, he probably wouldn't be able to pry open Zhang Dong's mouth. "It's okay, I'll ask other people, such as Meng Xiaodong. Although she hasn't seen you for many years, she must have been following your news and knows your situation."

"Hey! Why do you have to force me like this?" Zhang Dong said helplessly.

Lin Yuan disagreed with this statement. "There is no such thing as forcing me. It's just something that happened decades ago. I just want to know more about it. You've been unwilling to talk about it, which means you haven't let it go, right?"

Zhang Dong said, "Whether you let it go or not, what difference does it make? Just let it go and don't ask any more questions. Otherwise, when you go back forty years ago next time, I don't mind competing with you again."

Lin Yuan grinned, "Threatening me? Okay, you're awesome!"

Many of Lin Yuan’s plans for the future involve the past. If Zhang Dong keeps causing trouble, he may not be able to make arrangements smoothly.

"Then I'll wait. After you die, I'll have a good conversation with your past self."

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and when he turned around again, the tightly closed door had been opened, but when he walked out, the door was closed again.

boom!
A muffled sound also "woken" He Yiner and Zhang Youhong.

They looked around vigilantly and found that they had arrived at the door. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go and check on Xiaoye and Xiaowu. There are not only formations in that forest, but also wild beasts. I'm not worried about Xiaoye, but Xiaowu's strength is a little weak. After all, he is my client. If he is taken away by a wild beast, the reputation of our store will be ruined."

Lin Yuan said this and walked forward.

Zhang Youhong opened her mouth to ask something, but could only suppress the doubts in her heart. She quickly followed and pointed in another direction of the trail, saying, "Brother Yuan, I want to walk over here, is that okay?"

There, is the tomb where she was buried in her previous life.

"Okay, go ahead. Remember to come back early and don't miss the bus back." Lin Yuan knew what was in that direction, but he didn't care too much.

Zhang Youhong didn't have the incense in her hand, so it was impossible for her to bring back her past life and she couldn't do anything.

Zhang Dong is not dead yet. Although this place looks scary, it is actually quite safe, so let’s go to the “Peach Blossom Forest” to play hunting games.

"Old Zhang, if you don't agree to my request, I will dig up your forest, hehehehe!"
