I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 718 The Hunting Party Arrives

It wasn't just Xiao An who was guarding this place at night; there were also about ten robots left behind by Lin Yuan to take care of things here.

Now, all those dozen or so robots are gone, leaving only some robot parts on the ground.

And then there's Xiao An, whose clothes also have many tears, clearly indicating she suffered considerable damage. As for the nearby table and the prepared ingredients, needless to say, they suffered a great loss.

The scene could only be described as a complete mess, clearly caused by those strange things that came from who-knows-where.

But Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, and even Guo Fan didn't take this place too seriously.

The reason is that although they left a lot of things here, if others were to buy them with the money they had to pay for their lives, the amount would be several hundred.

In reality, the cost of these items is no more than ten yuan.

The Peace Hotel has absolutely gone to the extreme in terms of cost reduction, which is very much in line with the common perception of the "hotel manager" as stingy.

To everyone's surprise, Lin Yuan's face turned ashen upon seeing this, and the air pressure around him instantly plummeted.

Even the White Mist Ghost Domain, which had never appeared here before, suddenly emerged and spread all around.

More importantly, this white mist was not stable; on the contrary, it appeared quite turbulent, thus revealing the mood of its owner.

Such a turbulent scene was too much for Zhang Xianguang and Zhang Youhong to bear, so they immediately ran out to check on the situation.

"What happened?"

Zhang Youhong's face showed a hint of panic. She could disregard everything else, but she couldn't ignore the "store manager's" attitude.

After seeing everything clearly, she had the same question as Liu Qingqing:

It's only a cost of less than ten yuan, how could it cause such a big fire? Is it because Xiao An was injured, and the "store manager" is standing up for his employee?

"Xiao Zhang, the guests you've invited this time really have no manners. Are they all starving ghosts? They can even force themselves to eat raw food that hasn't been cooked yet?"

Lin Yuan, looking displeased, picked up a half-eaten, undercooked pig's head and threw it on the ground. Pointing at Xiao An and the robot parts on the ground, he angrily said, "Eating is one thing, but you also hurt my people. What do you suggest we do now?"

What should I do?
Of course, there must be a price to pay, but who should pay that price?

Within that raging white mist ghost realm, the intense sense of threat instilled in everyone a feeling of dread and unease, as if the sky had collapsed.

Zhang Xianguang forced himself to calm down, glanced at Zhang Youhong who had completely lost her composure, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes, and thought to himself:

With such a low level of mental fortitude, how did they come up with the idea of ​​reviving everything and actually carry it out?

No, no!

If Zhang Youhong only had this level of skill, she would never have reached the same heights as them, nor would she have come this far.

Could it be...

After glancing at Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, Guo Fan, one of the King Twins, and Ye Zhen standing to the side, Zhang Xianguang finally noticed something was amiss.

Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, and Guo Fan all had the same expression as Zhang Youhong at this moment.

It was that state of being terrified and at a loss because of the "store manager's" anger, only milder than Zhang Youhong's state, and even had a hint of shared hatred.

This is also normal.

After all, Zhang Youhong is the only one in charge here, so she naturally has to take responsibility for this matter, while Liu Qingqing and the others do not.

Even after a brief moment of panic, their gazes toward Zhang Youhong and Zhang Xianguang turned incredibly angry, an expression that showed they were completely on the same side as the "shop manager."

There was also an urgent need to use Zhang Xianguang and Zhang Youhong to prove their loyalty to the "store manager".

Zhang Xianguang believed that if they hadn't known they couldn't beat him, they might have already taken action, instead of just being filled with unease and even greater anger amidst the "shop manager's" rage.

As for Ye Zhen, he did not have such an attitude. Instead, he stared at the "shop manager" with a solemn yet eager expression.

That look was the kind of look that suggested a desire to challenge the strong, but Ye Zhen was also very clear about one thing: he did not choose to challenge the "shop manager" at this moment.

Although he longed to challenge the strong, he also knew when and how to make such a move.

And then there's myself...

Zhang Xianguang realized that Liu Qingqing and others, who had intricate connections with the Peace Hotel, were strongly influenced by the "manager's" emotions.

On the contrary, he and Ye Zhen were much more normal.

This made him even more aware of the terrifying influence of the White Mist Ghost Domain at the Peace Hotel, but having already made preparations, he wouldn't point it out, and didn't even care much about it.

Well, there's no need to worry about it.

When he chose to use the Peace Hotel to create a brand new Shangri-La, he was already prepared to devote himself to the Peace Hotel.

It's just that the time isn't right yet, which is why he hasn't done it. Now he can be in a clearer position and make his own choice.

“Boss Lin, it was indeed our master’s fault this time. My father had many friends, but also many enemies. Those who came uninvited tonight were all people who had grudges against my father and wanted to disrupt his funeral. With you here, Boss Lin, they didn’t dare to rush in and take my father’s body, but they did cause you a loss. After this matter is over, I will definitely arrest these people one by one and bring them to the shop to apologize to you.”

Zhang Xianguang demonstrated his sincerity, and he wasn't just talking; he genuinely intended to do it and had the capability to do so.

This gradually lessened the anger of Liu Qingqing and the others.

Of course, this was mainly because Lin Yuan was satisfied with Zhang Xianguang's attitude, which prevented his emotions from instinctively affecting everything around him through the White Mist Ghost Domain.

However, being satisfied is one thing, but agreeing or disagreeing is another.

"Xiao Zhang, since you say so, then this matter has little to do with you; it's the business of these uninvited guests. I can't wait that long to resolve this; I'll handle it myself. Is that alright?"

no problem?
How could there be a problem!

Since the "store manager" had already given him so much face, Zhang Xianguang was naturally not foolish enough to go against the "store manager," so he immediately nodded in agreement.

He also wanted to see how the "store manager" would "repay" those vengeful ghosts.

That's right, it's a vengeful ghost!
Those things that came to probe were nothing more than terrifying ghosts. As for why they entered the room and why they came to attend Zhang Dong's funeral...

Zhang Xianguang was also unaware of this. It wasn't that he didn't know about it, but rather that he didn't understand the underlying principles; otherwise, he wouldn't have been burning the yellow paper in the brazier.

The brazier and the yellow paper are items with supernatural powers, and they can also ward off attacks from vengeful ghosts. They are similar in principle to the red ghost candles, but their effects are completely different.

The effect of the red ghost candle is too weak; even one or two ghosts can easily consume a red ghost candle in a short time.

But the effect of burning yellow paper in the brazier is hundreds of times better.

Of course, they alone couldn't stop so many ghosts, otherwise Zhang Xianguang wouldn't have given up his position and then entered the darkness with his knife to dismember some of the ghosts.

In the original plan, Zhang Dong's death was something that Zhang Xianguang would use, but now he needs to fulfill his duty as a son.

He just wants to see what methods the "store manager" will use to handle this matter, which can reflect the "store manager's" attitude and approach to some extent.

This will be of great help to Zhang Xianguang's future plans.

He also considered many possibilities, such as bringing over the ghosts from the Peace Hotel. Whether it was Li Qingzhi, the starving ghost, or Luo Wensong, dealing with the previous ghosts might take some time, but it wouldn't be particularly difficult.

Although there were many of those ghostly things, they weren't actually that scary.

of course.

The comparison here is to the extent of the influence of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China. Even if Zhang Xianguang were to handle it, there would be considerable trouble. Otherwise, he would not have given up this opportunity to increase his favorability and pushed the timeline further.

But he never expected that Lin Yuan's method would be so simple and convenient.

Especially when he saw that not long after Lin Yuan made a phone call, Tian Xiaoyue arrived with a bunch of robots, some with pigtails and others with old-fashioned faces, he fell into complete silence.

"You've come at the perfect time. This can be considered a cleanup mission. As agreed before, for every troublemaker we catch, you can exchange them for a three-yuan commemorative coin. Is that alright?"

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the people present, and he stated his conditions.

Tian Xiaoyue nodded naturally, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we are professionals in this field and will definitely be able to complete the task you assigned."

"Isn't your profession delivering messages? When did catching people and wild animals become your profession?" Liu Qingqing pouted, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

She wasn't targeting Tian Xiaoyue.

She's just a woman who rarely appears in the store and has little connection with the "store manager." Even if she's the administrator of the Ghost Post Office and has her own business, she's still an outsider.

She was just feeling a bit resentful because Zhang Youhong wasn't involved in this incident, so she was looking for an opportunity to vent.

Tian Xiaoyue didn't know why, but she was very unhappy about being used as a punching bag.

Out of respect for the "shop manager," she wouldn't argue with Liu Qingqing, so she simply ignored her and directed the ponytail and the others into the dense forest.

Catch ghosts!

In the end, besides Tian Xiaoyue, only one acquaintance remained.

"Old Yang, what brings you here? Aren't you going to help Little Yang with the shop's business?" Lin Yuan found a chair to sit down and asked with a smile.

I'll be staying here for a while, so I might as well find something to do to pass the time.

Nightmare Yang Xiao had no intention of catching ghosts. He naturally sat down in the chair next to Lin Yuan and calmly said, "It's because Manager Tian called everyone over. I'm part of the post office, so naturally I need to follow the rules."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The branch in Dachang City is doing well, and everything is running smoothly. Yang Jian can manage on his own, so I don't need to go over and cause trouble."

"Haha! I thought it was you from the Year of Gengshen who came, so you were a little embarrassed there. By the way, I'm quite curious about how Xiao Yang reacts when he's with you two dads."

Meeting Lin Yuan's gossipy gaze, Nightmare Yang Xiao was utterly speechless.

The "store manager's" personality and habits have already been analyzed like a captain, and with Yang Xiao's arrival, Lin Yuan's anger had long since dissipated.

Or rather, that deliberately displayed anger is no longer necessary.

Lin Yuan was acting very easygoing, and everyone present seemed very relaxed.

Nightmare Yang Xiao was the same, but when he heard the "shop manager" making fun of him, he also felt a sense of absurdity.

The figures in the Ghost Post Office paintings are all people who have at least passed through the fifth floor of the Ghost Post Office and truly left the Ghost Post Office.

Among these people, there may be some who are all show and no substance, who cleared the fifth floor through other means, but such people have long been eliminated by time.

The rest are all beings with considerable strength.

With the power of their prime, they will face those vengeful spirits who have gone into hiding. It may not be easy, but they are at least qualified to put up a fight.

So, while Lin Yuan was laughing and joking with everyone, showing no sign of his displeasure, quite a commotion broke out in the dense forest.

"I'm going to help!"

Ye Zhen was a restless person. Holding the monstrous-looking longsword in his hand, he charged straight into the dense forest without waiting for anyone's consent or refusal.

In a short while, the commotion in the dense forest grew louder and louder.

About ten minutes later, the first... robot finally came out.

This was the robot with the ponytail. She walked over carrying a deer and tossed it in front of Lin Yuan. "Boss Lin, look at this... is this what you wanted?"

The so-called deer is naturally also a ghost, and a suppressed vengeful ghost at that.

Lin Yuan glanced at it, then smiled and gestured, "Little Liu!"

"I know, Brother Yuan."

Liu Qingqing nodded, took out a three-yuan note from her pocket, and handed it over.

The ponytail robot happily accepted it, "Boss Lin, please wait a moment, I'll continue to catch these wild beasts for you right away, I promise you won't have come for nothing!"

Shouldn't we make sure he doesn't come here for nothing?
Zhang Xianguang suddenly froze, looking at the still calm "shop manager," and couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is! I was overthinking it!"
