I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 686 Ghost Church
"Manor owner? Your reaction is a bit slow, but don't worry, I'm not targeting you. I'm only here to take someone with me, but I haven't found that person yet."

Chen Qiaoyang's tension gradually subsided, but his eyes still held wariness, and... jealousy.

He had always wanted to become an employee of the Peace Hotel, but after applying several times, he still hadn't received the "manager's" approval.

On the contrary, the manor owner, an outsider, has become an employee of the resources.

Of course, the most important thing is the Seed of White Mist!

The supernatural ability to ensure the survival of human consciousness is why Chen Qiaoyang, despite possessing so much power and having all the advantages, was still unwilling to take direct action.

Even if you win, you can't kill the other person. Such a deadly feud is completely unnecessary.

"I see. You are free to move around here. I will not interfere with you. I can even give you the gardeners from this trip. But I hope you will not continue to harm my people."

The manor owner made the request in a calm tone, without mentioning any retaliation he would take if Chen Qiaoyang failed to comply, nor was there any need for such retaliation.

Chen Qiaoyang nodded, understanding the manor owner's meaning. "Don't worry, I know what to do. By the way, has anything been happening in the city lately, or is it just that...freedom is common abroad?"

He has always been active in the country.

The age of the paranormal has arrived, but in China, paranormal events are still within a controllable range.

Perhaps a large number of people are already aware of the existence of paranormal events and have affirmed the existence of ghosts, but there are still some people who live in ignorance.

But when I got abroad, I found that the place had completely changed.

You see, the country where New York City is located is said to be even more powerful and free than China. He didn't see where the power was, but he certainly saw the freedom.

I just can't quite believe it.

How did such a country manage to survive in this era?

“The supernatural is reviving, order is collapsing, and everything in this city is developing normally. On the contrary, on your continent, without the protection of the gods, things might not be much better. Compared to this place, you are just luckier, nothing more.”

The manor owner didn't say anything more.

His daughter was there at the branch store, and he trusted her to handle things well. However, he still needed to keep an eye on the King's side, otherwise, who knew what kind of trouble the painter and his group might cause.

The manor owner hadn't mentioned the opening of the branch today, but "store manager" Lin Yuan had already brought people over to attend the opening ceremony.

Chen Qiaoyang was naturally unaware of this either.

He avoided the direction the gardeners were driving away the demon tamers and began searching the surrounding area.

His headquarters ordered him to bring back Zhang Xun, the team leader who had been gathering information abroad, but there was no definite information about Zhang Xun's location.

All I know is that Zhang Jun is currently in Greater New York.

His GPS phone's location is right here.

Chen Qiaoyang found the location based on the information provided, and without much concealment, he led the thirty-seven ghosts and swaggered off.

Many of the citizens on the street were carrying weapons from the Truth faction, but not a single one dared to fire a shot.

Everyone knows that for people like Chen Qiaoyang, weapons are completely useless; they only bring disaster upon themselves and serve no other purpose.

In addition, most of the ghost tamers were taken away.

The gardener had already received orders from the manor owner not to cause him any more trouble, so the journey was very quiet and relaxed.

Soon, Chen Qiaoyang arrived at his destination based on the information he had received.

"church?"

The church in front of us is strange. It is located in a bustling downtown area, surrounded by bright and shiny residential buildings, but the exterior walls of the church are covered with moss, the paint is mottled and very old, and it looks like it has been abandoned for decades and has always been in a damp environment.

However, before going abroad, Chen Qiaoyang had learned about the history of this city from the information provided by the headquarters.

Although he didn't consciously try to remember, according to the information he received, this area hadn't been around for very long; it had only undergone a major renovation ten years ago due to some unforeseen circumstances.

Including this church in front of us, it's at least no more than ten years old.

Even if it had been abandoned immediately after its initial construction, it shouldn't have ended up like this after ten years.

Chen Qiaoyang didn't approach rashly. "It's an eerie aura... I remember now, this is a Class C paranormal event on the Ghost Tamer website, codenamed 'Ghost Church.' It's highly terrifying, but because it doesn't wander, as long as you don't actively enter a certain area of ​​the church, you won't be attacked, so the danger isn't high, which is why it's classified as a Class C paranormal event. So, Zhang Jun is trapped here?"

In the documents.

This church is very dangerous; even heavy weapons like missiles cannot cause it any damage.

Clearly, this church has been completely tainted by supernatural forces.

The fact that this haunted church has not been dealt with for so long means that its level of horror may increase again, and it may even become a haunted place.

Meanwhile, in the video footage, there is also a blurry figure that could not be fully captured.

That should be the core supernatural element in the Ghost Church. Moreover, that supernatural element is able to leave the church and even attacked the footage being filmed at the time.

Looking at the half-open church door, Chen Qiaoyang had no intention of getting involved himself. Instead, he used his blood to command the five ghosts to enter and investigate.

But when they approached within three meters of the teaching area, Chen Qiaogu frowned. "The medium has been weakened... wait! They... disappeared?"

When the five ghosts approached the church door, although they did intend to go in and investigate, they had not yet actually entered the doorway.

It will take at least several steps to get there.

But the result was that they suddenly disappeared right under Chen Qiaoyang's nose, and even the medium through which the shepherd was severed.

Without any hesitation, even with more than thirty ghosts by his side, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But he suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face extremely pale, because when he turned around, what he saw in front of him was still that ghostly church.

The difference is that a blurry figure is already standing at the entrance of this ghostly classroom.

Just like what you see in the video, this so-called human figure can only be perceived as a person, or more precisely, just a human shape, and it constantly exudes a creepy and eerie feeling.

Even though the figure made no move, Chen Qiaoyang had a feeling: "It...saw me! Heh! Trying to keep me here? Looks like I'm being treated like a pushover. Not wanting to fight doesn't mean I'm afraid, it just doesn't want to waste time. Since you're so eager to invite me, let me see if you're qualified to keep me here!" ...

The white fog appeared out of nowhere and began to spread wildly, enveloping the entire city of New York.

Even the citizens of New York City have become largely numb to the series of paranormal events.

However, such a large-scale change still caused quite a stir.

Fortunately, it was just fog and not necessarily a supernatural event, so no one took any extreme actions because of it. Only the ghost controllers in front of the Peace Hotel New York City branch all changed their expressions.

There are over five hundred ghost tamers here.

They gathered at the entrance of the branch like guests who came to show their support, neither going in nor leaving.

Nearby, there were more than thirty gardeners in uniform guarding the area.

Thirty-odd people guarding more than five hundred people sounds incredible, but it is true.

The gardeners under the manor owner had indeed brought these five hundred demon tamers, who possessed terrifying power, under control.

No one dared to react.

Those who dared to resist had already taken action when they were driven away, and now they are all corpses wrapped in body bags.

Fear of the strong is nothing new in this land.

Moreover, the gardeners had only gathered them together to celebrate a branch store and to make up the numbers.

Such a reason is still acceptable.

As long as they're not tasked with performing some kind of supernatural event, like being cannon fodder for the haunted church in the west of the city, it's fine.

As for whether he will regret it later?

When that time comes, their five hundred-plus people will not be a small number. If they were to rebel, even the manor owner would have to be wary.

And that is what they really think.

Just like now, they have also split into several groups, each resting in a separate area, waiting for the so-called "manager" of the Peace Hotel to arrive.

Let's chat, even eat and drink as we please.

As the number of people increased, the initial fear disappeared until the white fog descended, enveloping their area before anyone could react.

It was a fog so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Before they could react, the white mist had mostly dissipated, leaving only a thin layer that wouldn't obstruct their view.

Everyone's face turned extremely pale, and some people lost their previous composure and ease, becoming flustered.

"Oh my god! My power, my power is gone! What happened, my power..."

"Me too, you gardeners, tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Damn it, we've been tricked!"

As the crowd stirred, the gardeners also became somewhat flustered.

Because their power has also disappeared, as if they had never controlled supernatural power, how could they suppress more than 500 people if a riot really broke out in this state?
I'm afraid they'll be torn to shreds in a single encounter!
Fortunately, in this environment, the five hundred people did not actually riot, simply because many "smart people" had already realized what was happening.

"The website says that the White Mist Ghost Domain of the Peace Hotel can suppress supernatural powers, and even if a ghost enters it, it will turn into all kinds of wild beasts and lose its supernatural rules. Could it be that what is said on the internet is true?"

"That's right, that should be it. Damn it, I told you the Peace Hotel is real, and you guys kept laughing at me. Do you realize you were wrong now?"

"Stop arguing, quickly think of what other rules the Peace Hotel has?"

"What are you thinking about? Go look online on your phone, you idiot!"

"That's right! How come I didn't think of that? Everyone, grab your phones!"

Amidst the commotion, the originally chaotic scene has actually begun to return to normal.

The manor owner was still thinking of stepping in to suppress them, even though his power was also being suppressed. However, even so, he was confident and had the means to subdue this group of good-for-nothings.

That's right, they're just trash.

In the manor owner's eyes, these five hundred people were not even qualified to be his gardeners; at most, they would be thrown into the vegetable garden and treated as vegetables.

If it's not trash, then what is it?
However, seeing these people, they were still intimidated by the reputation of the Peace Hotel, and while nodding to themselves, they did not step forward again.

After all, such a lively scene is what makes it interesting, and he really didn't have time to do anything else, because the arrival of this white mist meant the "shop manager" was coming.

Based on the "store manager's" past habits, his current location must be the airport!

The place is some distance from the airport, but fortunately the manor owner had made preparations in advance. Even if the Ghost Domain couldn't be used, he still had a car that could get there quickly.

Of course, he has also made arrangements at the airport, so there's no need to worry about missing the flight.

At this moment, there were almost no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets of New York City, and there were no obstacles along the way. The painter's face was solemn as he watched the high-class bulletproof car speed away.

The coffin bearer's complexion was no better; he looked up at his raised hand.

There, there is a coffin that is not visible under normal circumstances. Only when he tries to put the coffin down will it invade reality from the unknown ghost realm and spread its power.

At this moment, he had no intention of putting down the coffin, but it had already appeared in reality and could be seen by ordinary people.

"So that's what you've been holding all this time. It's a coffin. I didn't expect that even though you're old, your heart is still young. You're actually holding such a... lovely coffin." The missionary chuckled softly.

The coffin bearers looked grim, but they had no way to refute the argument.

Even from his perspective, the coffin was quite cute, completely unlike the image he remembered; instead, it had become adorable.

Although it still maintains a dark style, it's like suddenly switching from a realistic state to a cartoon state, specifically a children's version...
