I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 297 Ghost Dream
It was late at night in the village.

At this time, darkness was shrouded, and the dim street lights newly installed in the countryside were still working hard to emit light, making the darkness less oppressive, but the surroundings were strangely quiet, as if winter had come, and there was not even the sound of insects.

Some of the local dogs who were guarding the house also hid, curled up in their dens and took a nap.

Some villagers closed their doors early to rest. Going to bed early and getting up early has always been the living habit of rural people.

In this quiet and peaceful village, everyone's spirits gradually relaxed, and it seemed that sleepiness was coming along with the darkness.

A Hong yawned and glanced at Li Jun next to her.

Li Jun looked serious. He was holding a satellite positioning mobile phone in his hand and reporting the current situation to the headquarters.

After the report, he put down his cell phone and said to Yang Jian seriously: "You should tell us what happened here, or what are you afraid of and why did you deliberately lose contact with the headquarters."

Yang Jian looked calm, "What did you guess?"

"There must be terrible supernatural events in Meishan Village. You are not sure how to deal with it. You even think that the person in charge of the headquarters and even the captain can't solve it. Or maybe the supernatural events that happened here are probably It will be spread through communication means. Are you worried about the expansion of supernatural incidents? "

Li Jun gave his guess, and A Hong also became serious, looking at Yang Jian with a little scrutiny.

Yang Jian said slowly: "You are right, something strange did happen here, and it can be determined to be a supernatural event."

After a pause, he continued: "I have seen on the website that there are supernatural events called nightmares abroad. The supernatural events happening here are suspected to be similar."

Li Jun's expression changed slightly, "Nightmare? That is an S-class supernatural event. If it can be confirmed, then your approach is right, so what are your plans?"

"I have already thought about it before. If I really can't deal with this supernatural incident, I will call the store manager for help. I didn't expect you guys to come together, which saves me a lot of trouble." Yang Jian said lightly.

His face was obviously expressionless, but both Li Jun and A Hong could feel that the heavy pressure on Yang Jian's body seemed to have been swept away.

It should be the moment the "store manager" appears.

Looking at the direction upstairs, Li Jun sighed, "You haven't shown up during this period, so maybe you don't know what happened. As for the store manager, maybe his appearance doesn't mean anything."

Yang Jian narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me carefully."

"It's a very simple situation. You should have seen the headquarters' previous speculation about the store manager and the Peace Hotel." Seeing Yang Jian nodding, Li Jun continued: "But the store manager went to Dajing City a few days ago, and something happened We learned some things, which allowed us to speculate more about the store manager’s situation. The most important point, which also overturned the previous conclusion, is: the store manager is always here!”

It was a very vague sentence, but Yang Jian instantly understood its meaning and immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible. According to you, he has been acting with us?"

"No, what we see is just a personality separated from the real store manager, a personality with the world view of ordinary people. The real store manager is hiding in an unknown place and watching us. All of us are in a battle for In the game field where he performed, the store manager we met was just an NPC who guided us to participate in the game. "

The news given by Li Jun was too terrifying, and Yang Jian couldn't accept it for a while.

"According to what you said, the real store manager should be a god, overlooking all living beings like a god? Do you believe this?"

Li Jun said: "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is how to face the store manager. This kind of speculation is very likely at present. In other words, even if the store manager is here now, he may not help us solve this supernatural incident. In the final analysis, we still have to rely on ourselves.”

Yang Jian was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "If what you said is true, then you shouldn't come. Your arrival will only make things more terrifying and terrifying."

A Hong said seriously: "You should believe in us and your teammates."

"This has nothing to do with whether I believe it or not. This supernatural event is not much worse than a nightmare. The most important thing is that after entering the supernatural event, all of us will become ordinary people and lose all supernatural powers. , what else do you have to fight for? My hand is a ghost hand. After entering the supernatural event, it disappears directly. So, after you enter, can you retain some strength, or become a hindrance, or even a complete one. None of them?"

Li Jun and A Hong's expressions suddenly changed.

Yang Jian continued, "Also, this is what I have prepared for you. Take it now. As long as it is not a supernatural item, you can bring it to supernatural events. It may be helpful to you."

As he spoke, he took out three sets of raincoats and three fruit knives.

Li Jun picked up two sets of clothes and two fruit knives, "I'll go upstairs and give one set to Guo Fan."

"I will go with you."

A Hong stood up immediately, but as soon as she picked up her raincoat and fruit knife, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door behind her: "A Hong, I'm outside the door, come out quickly."

The sound fell back in the silent night and seemed particularly clear.

A Hong's eyes were dazed, and then her expression changed, "Is it Li Jun's voice? Impossible, he is still in front of me... Where is the person in front of me?"

Her face changed drastically, and she saw Li Jun and Yang Jian disappear, as if she was the only one in the room, except for the raincoat and fruit knife in her hand.

The most important thing is not this.

She raised her hand and touched her cheek. There seemed to be many scars on her face, which was not beautiful but was still very beautiful. It was very painful to touch, like pinpricks.

"Have you really lost all your supernatural powers?"

She reached into her arms and touched it, but found nothing. The supernatural item that belonged to her disappeared.

Without panicking, she took out a piece of black cloth and tied it on her face, just covering the lower half of her face. Then she put on her raincoat, took a fruit knife to the door and looked out.

The small mountain village was very quiet, and there was no one downstairs at all.

"That voice was attacked by a supernatural being... No, it should be a supernatural being who fell into a dream? He was obviously not asleep, but he was pulled into the dream. Yang Jian did the right thing. If this kind of thing is allowed to happen due to unknown channels, The supernatural has spread, and it is at least an S-level supernatural event, and it is difficult to deal with. "

A Hong did not go out, but walked upstairs.

She searched the two-story building but found no one, as if she was the only one left in the world.

This is obviously impossible.

"Although Yang Jian hasn't finished explaining the situation, this supernatural incident must be large-scale. The villagers who died suddenly were killed in this dream and died in reality. It was me who was pulled in Is it too early?"

Suddenly there was some noise downstairs. A Hong walked downstairs warily, and then saw Yang Jian confronting a terrifying existence.

Both of them held fruit knives in their hands.

Yang Jian's right hand disappeared, and it was empty starting from the elbow. That hand should be a ghost, a ghost that was controlled, so it disappeared when he entered a dream.

The existence that confronts him is even more terrifying.

His skin was gone, as if someone had used some extremely exquisite technique to peel off the skin on his body. What was exposed outside his clothes were all blood-red muscles, blood vessels, etc., without any damage at all. Instead, they were growing regularly. The ground was moving and looked extremely scary.

However, despite reaching this level, he is still alive.

When A Hong appeared at the stairs on the second floor, he looked up.

Just at this glance, Ah Hong had a clear understanding in her heart: "Li, Li Jun? Why are you like this?"

As soon as the words came out, she looked at him.

He was wearing a person-in-charge uniform, and the gold nameplate on his chest was still there, with the word "Li Jun" written on it.

It was indeed Li Jun!
Before she saw the name on the nameplate, she actually recognized Li Jun through his eyes.

Seeing Li Jun's miserable condition, A Hong ran downstairs subconsciously, but was stopped by Yang Jian when he was about to approach.

"If I were you, I wouldn't step forward so rashly."

A Hong said angrily: "Yang Jian, what do you mean? Now that Li Jun is like this, you are still hostile to us?"

Yang Jian was unmoved, "I didn't have time to tell you that in this dream, anyone could be fake and pretended to be that ghost. I can't tell whether you are real people or that ghost." People who are pretending, I believe you are the same.”

"Is that so? Then keep a certain distance. Don't worry, I look scary now, but I can still maintain my condition for a while, it should be... about an hour."

He said to keep his distance, but Li Jun still put away the fruit knife, turned around and walked outside the house, putting on his raincoat.

Without the protection of skin, the contact between the body and the raincoat was very painful, but there was no expression on Li Jun's face, as if it was not him who was in pain.

"Wait, I'm with you." A Hong glared at Yang Jian and followed quickly.

Yang Jian looked at A Hong and Li Jun in confusion, suddenly seemed to think of something, couldn't help laughing, and then followed out.

It started to rain lightly in the village, covering the entire Meishan Village in a layer of water vapor, making it no longer so real.

"Is there anything you can continue talking about now?" Li Jun asked.

Yang Jian stopped one meter away from Li Jun and A Hong. He looked at A Hong who was also keeping a distance of more than half a meter from Li Jun. His eyes flickered and said: "Ghosts come from somewhere. At the beginning, the ghosts were still very... Weak, the extent can be judged by the size of the rain.”

Li Jun nodded, "I understand, so what we have to do now is to find and kill the ghost as soon as possible. But killing the ghost shouldn't mean imprisoning it, right?"

Yang Jian said: "You are right. By killing that ghost, we can wake up in reality and spend the night safely. But tomorrow night, the attack will come again."

"I see. It seems that if you want to imprison this ghost, you have to go to reality to find its existence. We will discuss this matter after returning to reality. What we have to do now is to find the ghost as soon as possible, otherwise time will If it doesn’t take too long, that ghost will take action, and I will die.”

Li Jun pondered: "Where did that ghost come from, outside the village or inside the village?"

"Outside the village."

Li Jun quickly said: "Okay, let's go and use ourselves as bait. Since you want to kill us, let's do it. According to you, the ghost in the dream should have been an ordinary person at first, As long as we can draw it out, although the three of us need to guard against each other, we can also cooperate to take it down. This is the best plan. "As the captain of the headquarters and a former special operations captain, Li Jun has always been the most powerful. It's not the supernatural power he controls, but his wisdom and character.

Yang Jian didn't feel surprised.

On the contrary, if Li Jun failed to react, the fruit knife in his hand might have found an opportunity to stab him.

The three of them kept a relatively safe distance and walked towards the outside of the village together.

Although it is night, there are street lights along the road, so it is not completely dark and you can't see clearly. After all, society is developing very fast now. When I was a child, if there was no moonlight or starlight outside at this time, it would basically be... His eyes darkened.

"Be careful."

Yang Jian reminded them. In fact, without him reminding them, both Li Jun and A Hong felt that there was a danger approaching.

I don’t know where this danger comes from, and it seems to be everywhere.

A Hong suddenly asked: "I didn't see the store manager or Guo Fan. If the store manager doesn't want to come in, it's understandable if he doesn't get pulled in. But as for Guo Fan, is he being protected because he went to keep vigil for the store manager?"

"It is possible, but what we need to focus on now is this road. This is not the road out of the village at all."

Li Jun stopped.

The road under our feet is very long, with no end in sight, winding and twisting, and the front is dimly lit, as if there is light, but also seems dark and deep.

"It's a ghost realm. We have all become ordinary people. Even if our alertness remains unchanged and our strength declines, we are still aware of some special circumstances."

Yang Jian was used to it.

Li Jun suddenly asked, "You have spent three nights here, and today is the fourth night, right? In other words, you have killed that ghost at least three times?"

Yang Jian said: "No, I have never killed it once. The person who killed it was my cousin, Liang Yuan."

Li Jun and A Hong both looked over.

Yang Jian's expression remained unchanged, "Do you know why I don't want support from the headquarters? It will be easier if someone helps, and even the cost of trial and error will be lower?"

Before Li Jun and A Hong could speak, Yang Jian gave his own answer, "The ghost that originated from this dream seems to be able to read other people's memories and display some people and things they have experienced in their memories. The more... The more you experience, the easier it is to conjure up some terrible things, such as..."

Li Jun and A Hong's expressions changed greatly, and they quickly looked around.

Not far ahead of the path, a figure appeared at some point. Looking at the figure, Li Jun murmured: "Zhou Zheng? No, it's not Zhou Zheng, it's... a starving ghost?"

I saw that this figure looked exactly like Zhou Zheng. He was wearing the uniform of a person in charge. The gold nameplate on his chest read Zhou Zheng's name, but his face was gray and covered with corpse spots.

Moreover, his belly was swollen, as if he was seven or eight months pregnant and could give birth at any time.

He was walking towards the three of them, staggering and seemed to be walking unsteadily. His dark, pupil-less eyes were fixed on the location of the three of them.

At this moment, Yang Jian suddenly rushed out and stabbed Zhou Zheng's head with a fruit knife, causing blood to splash everywhere.

"Thankfully, it can only present the side of our memory and cannot replicate the real supernatural being."

puff!

The blade of the knife was withdrawn, and Zhou Zheng's body slowly fell to the ground.

But before Li Jun and A Hongsong could take a breath, more and more figures appeared in the darkness around them, and they were all ghosts that had appeared in the supernatural events they had experienced.

densely packed.

The largest number of them are ghost babies, ghost boys and ghost youths. Countless ghost shadows overlap together like a dark cloud pressing on the ground.

"Even if there is no supernatural power, in our current state, the numbers alone can kill us, right?" A Hong's voice trembled slightly.

Li Jun clenched the fruit knife in his hand, "No, maybe it's not that scary. The starving ghost just came close. Although Yang Jian was fast, ordinary people could react, but it didn't resist. Maybe, they can't attack us directly, so what's the reason for their appearance? That ghost is hiding among these people!"

"Your guess is at least half right. The ghost must be hiding among them, but if you want to say that they won't attack us, do you dare to risk your life? Let's go, before they close together, our greatest chance of survival is Find the store manager, if He will come in."

There are a lot of ghosts in this group, but it will take some time to close up.

Yang Jian found the right angle and rushed out. Li Jun and A Hong did not hesitate and also started running.

……

"It seems I still have some choice of bed."

In the middle of the night, Lin Yuan sat up from the bed, glanced at the dark sky outside the window, and walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Guo Fan stumbled in.

Lin Yuan quickly got out of the way to avoid being hit by this kid. Guo Fan fell directly to the ground with a muffled thud.

But even after such a heavy fall, Guo Fan didn't wake up.

Lin Yuan's expression changed, "You're not going to die, are you?"

He squatted down quickly, put his fingers between Guo Fan's nose, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "He's still breathing, he's not dead. But this kid was so soundly asleep that he couldn't even wake up even if a bag fell on his forehead. Come."

With that said, Lin Yuan lifted Guo Fan up with one hand, just like lifting a chicken.

"There is only one bed in the room, and I don't know which room Yang Jian arranged for him. Forget it, it's so late, everyone should have gone to bed, so you can just make do with it here for the night."

There is relatively little furniture in the room, but there is still a chair.

Lin Yuan directly put Guo Fan on the chair. Suddenly his ears moved and he seemed to hear something, "Lin Yuan, are you there?"

"Who is calling me? Why do you feel a little sleepy?"

Lin Yuan wanted to see who was calling him, but the sleepiness came over him suddenly, as if he had taken a large dose of sleeping pills, and he couldn't resist it at all.

"No, go to bed first and watch again when you wake up."

Lin Yuan couldn't stop it, so he took a few steps to the bed and fell asleep, snoring slightly.

At the same time, a thick white mist escaped from his body, completely enveloping the entire two-story building.

"This is the world of ghost dreams? It can manifest the existence in consciousness, but I don't know if it can make the people and objects in my memory appear."

Lin Yuan, the real Lin Yuan, appeared in Meishan Village in a ghost dream.

As a complete time traveler, Lin Yuan's waking time is very short.

In fact, Wang Xiaoming's initial guess was not wrong. After Lin Yuan traveled through time, he inherited the Peace Hotel and the White Mist Ghost Domain for unknown reasons.

But it's a pity.

The supernatural intensity of the two has lost balance. The upper limit of the White Mist Ghost Realm greatly exceeds that of the Peace Hotel. If Lin Yuan remains awake, the White Mist Ghost Realm will completely swallow up the Peace Hotel and his consciousness, making him a A fierce ghost who follows the rules of killing but possesses Lin Yuan's memory.

When the time comes, with the complete memory of the mysterious resurrection and the terrifying power, perhaps the world will be reduced to despair.

Under this situation, Lin Yuan could only put most of his consciousness and memory into a deep sleep, leaving only a trace of his consciousness in the Peace Hotel, acting as the store manager.

From this perspective, he is the store manager of the Peace Hotel, but the "store manager" of the Peace Hotel is not him.

In this way, we can avoid irritating the White Mist Ghost Realm and prevent the White Mist Ghost Realm from going berserk, and instead erode the Peace Hotel step by step.

If there are no accidents, it may not be long before the Peace Hotel will be completely assimilated into the White Mist Ghost Domain, which will also be the worst outcome.

What Lin Yuan did was to absorb more ghosts, and use the terrifying method of the Peace Hotel to make almost all the ghosts into puzzle pieces according to the relationship between the hotel and the guests, to enhance the horror of the Peace Hotel, in order to fight against the white ghosts. The erosion of the mist ghost realm.

It wasn't until Meng Xiaodong, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, moved in that Lin Yuan's consciousness revived, but he still could only hide in the Peace Hotel, unable to truly appear in the world.

Even if Zhang Bohua, Li Qingzhi and other seven elders of the Republic of China moved in one after another, and terrifying ghosts such as ghosts, knockers, starving ghosts, and ghost lakes became the preparatory puzzle pieces of the Peace Hotel, he would have more room for activities.

But until now, he is still imprisoned in the Peace Hotel. Even if he occasionally needs it, he can only use the supernatural powers of other terrifying ghosts in the store to suppress and hide his existence, and he can briefly appear in reality.

To put it simply, it is jail and release.

In comparison, Zhang Xianguang's ghost private school and Yang Xiao's ghost dream provided him with a more relaxed environment.

"It's a pity that this kind of conscious ghost cannot have similar effects in my hands. Others still need to activate it in reality, and then use the store manager as an anchor to enter."

"Besides, the intensity of ghost dreams seems to be about this."

The faint white mist began to escape from Lin Yuan's pupils, but was quickly suppressed by him, and then looked towards the second floor.

There was a strange figure there, also with his head lowered, looking straight at him.
