I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 691 His Rules
Tick!
Tick!
An unknown dripping sound rang in everyone's ears. Yang Jian suddenly turned his head to look up. Above the statue was a window through which sunlight always shone.

The church was meticulously designed during its construction, and the sunlight filtering through it makes it even more likely to evoke a sense of holiness.

When they came in, there was light shining down, but now it's pitch black, as if several hours have suddenly passed and it's the dead of night.

Even more bizarrely, behind that window, one could vaguely see a giant eyeball peering at everyone through the window.

Just one glance at this eyeball is enough to make one feel disoriented.

Wang!
A vicious dog's bark echoed in Yang Jian's mind, jolting him awake. When he looked out the window again, it was still pitch black, but the eyeball had vanished.

"Yang Jian, what did you find?" Li Jun noticed his unusual behavior and quickly asked.

Yang Jian said in a deep voice, "The supernatural phenomena here are mainly of the consciousness type. Everyone should be careful. Don't hide anything, after all, we don't have the advantage in this game."

"Theme parks, especially horror-themed parks, can't actually kill people. They can only create a terrifying atmosphere to make people feel fear. The ghost church we're in now has been set up as a horror-themed park by the manager, so it's normal that it's a supernatural park with a consciousness element."

Li Leping calmly analyzed, "We, and the ghosts in the Ghost Church, are all in the same boat. We must act within the rules set by the shopkeeper, but we may encounter danger. What we need to do now is to find what is most advantageous for us within these rules."

“There’s no need for that. All we need to do is find Zhang Jun. Once we find him, we can leave immediately. There’s no need for a pointless confrontation. I have a feeling that if we want to resolve this paranormal event, we might encounter an even greater crisis,” Ah Hong said.

Yang Jian said, "If you owned a theme park, and people came to play and not only wanted to complete the game, but also wanted to demolish the theme park, you would also want to kill them. Manor owner, we are now tourists of the theme park. Do you want to come with us, or go alone?"

The manor owner's gaze swept over the crowd, his eyes filled with contempt. "I am God's shepherd, how could I possibly act with you lambs? It would be beneath my dignity."

Such an arrogant attitude left Li Leping and the others speechless.

angry?

Yes, but not much.

Everyone knows that the manor owner has gone mad, completely regarding the "shopkeeper" as a god, while treating himself as a sheepdog.

Such people have lost their sense of self. No matter how terrifying or annoying they are, why should they care?
Since the manor owner was unwilling to join, they wouldn't say anything more.

The situation in this large room has been basically clarified.

Chen Qiaoyang was killed from the outside world, and the overseas demon tamers of the pastor have been captured by this church and become one of the church's sacrifices.

The fact that this ghost could attack so many resurrected ghosts at once without causing much of a commotion, and that even Chen Qiaoyang had disappeared without a trace, is enough to demonstrate how terrifying this ghost is.

Unfortunately, even such a terrifying ghost could only be suppressed under the "shopkeeper's" rules and become a toy.

After a brief discussion, Yang Jian and the other three decided to split into teams. Li Jun and Ah Hong would form one team, while Yang Jian and Li Leping would each go their own way to search the entire church.

Before leaving, Yang Jian glanced at the long robe on the platform, his expression enigmatic. "Perhaps this ghost isn't fake, but... according to the rules of a horror theme park, there can't be real ghosts, so..."

It was afternoon in New York City, with the sun high in the sky, but for Lin Yuan and his group, it felt like they had spent the entire night without rest.

Lin Yuan yawned, looking somewhat tired.

In his current state, he naturally doesn't need to sleep to recover his energy, but the experiences of the decades before his transmigration were too profound.

Back in China, no matter how tired he was, he would close his eyes and rest at night.

Today, although some interesting things happened, they've become less interesting now.

Yang Jian's whispered murmurs were inaudible to others, but Lin Yuan's ghost domain covered the entire city of New York, including this ghost church, so how could he not hear it?

Yang Jian was clever and had already guessed the true nature of the situation, which meant that the game was destined to lose some of its excitement.

Lin Yuan wasn't interested in playing the game because the plot wasn't exciting enough.

Compared to the supernatural forces that are completely unable to resist their own rules, he has absolutely no interest in them now, not even in being the so-called mastermind.

"Brother Yuan, are you tired? I'll ask Lao Zhuang to arrange a place for you to rest properly right away," Guo Fan said hurriedly.

His eyes were now bloodshot and bloodshot.

After losing his supernatural powers, the white mist seed residing in his consciousness could only protect his consciousness from destruction, but could not grant him any additional power.

That's why he's more like an ordinary, normal person.

For Lin Yuan, the lack of rest for so long was a conscious habit and dependence, while for Guo Fan it was purely physical discomfort and torment.

However, he still forced himself to stay alert. If it weren't for his bloodshot eyes and the fact that he kept pinching his thigh to stay awake, it would be hard to tell what state he was in.

"Let's make some arrangements. You can also take a rest; your eyes are all red," Lin Yuan said.

His voice didn't show much emotion, but it made Guo Fan's eyes redden even more. "Thank you, Brother Yuan, I'm not tired."

"Don't be stubborn, you're not a child anymore."

Lin Yuan shook his head; he hadn't been interested in Guo Fan before.

Initially, they only agreed to let him into the Peace Hotel out of curiosity, wanting to see what interesting things Guo Fan would do after trying so hard to squeeze in.

But now.

Regardless of Guo Fan's ultimate goal, at least his current intention is commendable, and Lin Yuan has felt it.

The bridgehead of the "path to godhood" that he told Yang Jian and Li Leping in the year of Gengshen, as well as the matter in Zhangdong, are the most important and need to be treated with utmost seriousness.

As for other people and things, Lin Yuan basically viewed them with a carefree attitude.

It wasn't that he was arrogant, but rather that his strength far surpassed that of ordinary people, making it impossible for him to view everything with an equal perspective.

To ordinary people, Li Jun, Li Leping, and the manor owner are like gods or demons, able to easily decide the life and death of others.

But in Lin Yuan's eyes, they were no different from ordinary people. They were all exquisite porcelain pieces that would break easily with a touch. The only difference was that some were more brittle and some were more solid. That was all.

In Lin Yuan's eyes, nothing about them was truly a secret. How could he possibly consider these people as equals in such a relationship?
Lin Yuan was already quite clear-headed by not considering himself a god-like figure when everyone else approved of him, but it still had some impact.

That's why.

Even though he knew Guo Fan's goal was to replace him as the "store manager," become the newly appointed store manager, become the CEO, and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman...

He wasn't too bothered; it felt like watching an ant trying to push him over by nudging his toes.

Absurd, and laughable.

If Guo Fan can provide him with enough emotional value, he wouldn't mind fulfilling this small wish. As for Li Qingzhi, those are also negotiable.

Guo Fan did a good job today, so "when you get back, you can go to Caesar's Distillery whenever you have free time and help out."

"Huh?" Guo Fan was taken aback.

The Caesar Hotel has long been transformed, from the original Caesar Breeding Farm to the later addition of the Caesar Winery, all of which has been managed by Li Qingzhi.

When the Caesar Distillery was first established, Li Qingzhi was indeed quite busy, and the production of new wine was affected.

But now, with the robot manufacturing factory that Wang Xiaoming is in charge of maturing, more and more specialized directional robots are being produced, and the Caesar Distillery no longer lacks manpower.

Why would a group of perfect workers who don't need rest, don't complain, and don't need to be paid need Guo Fan's help?

"Sometimes I really don't know if you're genuinely stupid or just pretending." Lin Yuan shook his head, looking disappointed.

Guo Fan seemed to only then realize what was happening, and excitedly thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Yuan! Thank you, Brother Yuan! If I can get married to Lao Li, I will spend my whole life thanking you, Brother Yuan!"

"Don't try to paint me too much of a picture; I'm not buying it. Old Li is a man of few words. I'm giving you the chance; whether you can make it or not is up to you," Lin Yuan said.

Guo Fan chuckled and said, "I know, Brother Yuan. Don't worry, I won't let you down!"

The manor owner had no particular attachment to the ghost church, otherwise he wouldn't have left it there unattended. Upon hearing Guo Fan ask him to arrange a room for Lin Yuan, he immediately withdrew.

He arranged for a villa, which was some distance from the Ghost Church.

"Wait a little longer, let's talk after Xiao Yang and the others come out. Xiao Guo, you should go and rest first. Don't rush to refuse, you'll have to go back later. If you're not energetic, you might have to go work as Lao Li's assistant, and he'll probably send you back." Lin Yuan said.

Guo Fan thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll go and rest first. Thank you, Brother Yuan."

It wasn't until he arrived at the room arranged by the manor owner and lay down on the large, soft bed in the second bedroom that he suddenly slapped his forehead, the force so great that it left a red handprint. He felt incredibly annoyed.
"I thought I was incredibly clever, but I made a mistake in the final choice. How could I abandon the shopkeeper and come to rest alone for that ghost? Isn't that a slap in the face? Sigh!"

By then, it was too late to realize it.

Even if I rush over again, I probably won't get any more sympathy points; instead, they'll hold a grudge against me, which would be a real loss. "I need to perform better next time and not lose points again!"

Meanwhile, inside the Ghost Church, Yang Jian and his companions had already searched the entire church.

During this time, they encountered the priest in his robes, whose face was covered in moss, again, and experienced some unusual confrontations, all of which ended with his robe falling to the ground.

The so-called alternative confrontation is not simply a supernatural confrontation.

Under the "shop manager's" rules, there can be no real supernatural confrontations in the White Mist Ghost Realm. Otherwise, Yang Jian wouldn't have needed to pour a bottle of mineral water out when he helped Li Jun and Ah Hong.

Like now.

When the four finally gathered and arrived at the last room, they encountered the priest once again.

The group exchanged glances, their guard down, replaced by helplessness and even speechlessness. Li Leping finally spoke up, saying, "Forget it, I'll do it. After all, I have more wild beasts on me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the four wild beasts on his body charged at the priest.

The priest's moss-covered face slowly opened and closed his mouth, and the four beasts stopped, but only for a second, with one of them letting out a roar.

The other three beasts seemed to have forgotten the eerie sound they had just heard and pounced on it again.

Attacks targeting consciousness were ineffective against the supernatural power of the Forgotten Ghost, and in the end, the priest was also transformed into a robe once again under the attack of the four wild beasts.

"It's a pity. If it weren't for the manager's rules, we would have already imprisoned the ghosts here." Ah Hong said with a regretful expression.

Horror theme parks, but there are no real ghosts!

This is the hidden setting behind Lin Yuan's acknowledgment of this setting.

So no matter how many times they successfully attack the priest, even if they turn the entire haunted church upside down, they will never find the real source of the evil spirit.

Li Jun shook his head. "It's not that simple. If it weren't for the shopkeeper's rules, the ghosts in Ghost Teaching wouldn't be so tightly restricted and so easily imprisoned."

"There's only one room left. Zhang Jun and Chen Qiaoyang should both be here."

As Yang Jian spoke, he stepped forward and pushed open the door.

Like the other rooms, the space inside is not large. There is a bed, a desk and chair, and a small window. It looks like one of those daily rental rooms on the street that cost ten or fifteen yuan.

However, there was someone sitting at the head of the bed.

When the door was pushed open, the person turned around and looked over.

"Chen Qiaoyang? Are you the only one here?" Li Jun frowned, then saw a satellite positioning phone on the bedside table, and Chen Qiaoyang was also holding a satellite positioning phone.

"Be careful, don't rush in."

Li Leping stopped Li Jun, his eyes fixed on Chen Qiaoyang's surroundings. He saw that the four ghosts that had been hidden in the deep ghost realm had now appeared, tightly protecting and imprisoning Chen Qiaoyang within them.

Strangely, moss also climbed onto the bodies and faces of these four ghosts.
