Chapter 488: Follow the Dragon! See God?
"Zhang Xianguang's Peach Blossom Spring plan is actually feasible. The biggest flaw is that the ghost painting he chose to carry the world is too weak. If the store manager's white fog ghost domain is used to carry the world, how could it fail?"

Behind Fang Shiming, an old man holding a ghost cage was saying in a deep voice, "Fang Shiming, you are now an employee of the store. Although you are just a laborer, you are special. Compared with other employees, you can bring benefits to the store manager, so as long as you are willing, you can seek a higher position."

"If your position is high enough, and the store manager's ghost domain carries the entire world according to Zhang Xianguang's plan, and the entire world is under the control of the store manager, what kind of scene would that be?"

"The store manager is high above us. He looks down on the world like a god and won't interfere too much in the affairs of ordinary people. People like us, like those who don't control evil spirits, are just ordinary people in his eyes. So when the time comes, someone will be needed to manage this world for him."

“The sage has no name, the divine has no merit, and the perfect man has no self.”

"The store manager has reached such a point that even time is just a toy in his hands. As long as he wants, even if he wants to pull a city back to a few decades ago, it would be nothing more than a piece of cake."

"Such a store manager has enough strength to carry the fate of the whole world."

"As long as the Peach Blossom Spring Plan is reborn in the store manager, who will he use to manage the world? Naturally, they will be assigned according to the positions of the Peace Hotel employees. By then, you will also be the one who follows the dragon, and you will have great authority in the new world and become an existence above millions of people."

The old man's words, like the devil's whispers, kept lingering in Fang Shiming's ears.

Fang Shiming's eyes were fanatical, as if he saw a future world that he would manage. However, he still suppressed the impulse in his heart, and retracted his gaze from the illusory Peace Hotel above Dadong City. He stared at the old man dangerously, "Mr. Zhang, if it was Zhang Xianguang who asked you to be a lobbyist, then that's too insincere. Or does he think I'm not even qualified to ask him to come in person? Don't say he doesn't have time in the virtual game now. It's the same if he says it during the day."

The old man, Zhang Xian, chuckled softly and said, "No! You are wrong. All this has nothing to do with Zhang Xianguang. It is my will and my own choice. I want to cooperate with you and help you become one of the masters of the world."

Fang Shiming suddenly realized and sneered, "So that's how it is, you betrayed Zhang Xianguang?"

"It's not a matter of betrayal. Apart from the blood relationship between him and me, the relationship is more of a cooperative one." Zhang Xian's tone was flat, but he could hardly hide the hatred in it.

Fang Shiming was surprised and asked, "What did Zhang Xianguang do? Did he dig up your ancestral grave to make you hate him so much?"

He could feel that Zhang Xian's hatred was definitely not acted out.

For beings like them, normal human emotions have been suppressed to the extreme. Only when they are in the Peace Hotel can they suppress all supernatural powers under the supernatural suppression of the "store manager" and regain normal human emotions.

But at the moment, they are not in the Peace Hotel, nor in the white fog ghost zone, so naturally they do not have as many emotions as normal people. Only extreme emotions will cause changes in their expressions.

Even if you pretend, it's not that easy to do and it will be easily seen through.

If Fang Shiming remembered correctly, Zhang Xian was a die-hard follower of Zhang Xianguang. He had worked for Zhang Xianguang's Utopia plan for decades, most of his life, but now he has betrayed him.

Apart from the fact that Zhang Xianguang dug up Zhang Xian's ancestral grave, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

Zhang Xian's mouth twitched, and he said in a deep voice: "If Zhang Xianguang really has the courage, it would be fine, but unfortunately, our ancestral tomb is the same, and he should not bear the name of betraying his teacher and destroying his ancestors."

Fang Shiming said: "Then you have to give me a reason, otherwise I can't believe you."

"Of course it's because Zhang Xianguang betrayed our ideals." At this point, Zhang Xian couldn't help but reveal the hatred on his face again. "He once convinced us with the Peach Blossom Spring plan, and it became our common ideal, and it also gathered like-minded people such as Wang Han, Du Hong, and Zhang Ying. But now, because of a failure, he gave up this ideal. How can he be worthy of Wang Han, Du Hong, and Zhang Ying who went there? How can he be worthy of an old guy like me who has fought for our ideals all his life? Fang Shiming, tell me, shouldn't I hate him?"

"You should. It turns out that it wasn't you who betrayed him, but he who betrayed your ideals. So, you came here to convince me and wanted me to persuade the manager to use the Peace Hotel to implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan. Did you really just want to let Zhang Xianguang know that he made the wrong choice? But, Zhang Xianguang should have the same idea as you. I remember I seemed to have heard him mention it before." Fang Shiming said.

Zhang Xian's heart sank, and he said, "If he succeeds, who do you think will get the credit for following the dragon? I don't need too much, I just need Zhang Xianguang to be handed over to me after everything succeeds."

Fang Shiming fell into deep thought.

Zhang Xianguang is very strong now, and no one can deny that.

In the battle of Shuangqiao Town, Babayan, and Peach Blossom Spring, Zhang Xianguang's combat power was fully demonstrated. He was a terrifying existence that no one could confront head-on without five or six captains.

However, Fang Shiming was not too afraid of the other party.

The coffin on his back gave him enough confidence, because it was no longer a simple ghost coffin, but a puzzle piece with the ghost catcher, and also possessed some of the ghost catcher's supernatural powers.

If we really face Zhang Xianguang, it is still unknown who will win.

Zhang Xian's condition was not for him to detain Zhang Xianguang now, but to detain Zhang Xianguang after the plan was successful, when he became his spokesperson in the new world and had enough strength, and then hand him over to Zhang Xian for handling.

This is a very good deal. It is undeniable that Fang Shiming is tempted, but there is still a question, "Tell me, how can I convince the store manager to implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan?"

Zhang Xian said: "I don't know."

"So, are you kidding me?" Fang Shiming's lips curled up slightly. He was obviously smiling, but he revealed a chilling chill.

Even though he was now unable to straighten his back due to the pressure of the huge black coffin on his back, it was like a mountain, making it difficult for Zhang Xian to breathe.

All the supernatural powers seemed to be suppressed, which was the supernatural effect of the ghost catcher.

Seeking the skin of a tiger!

Such a word flashed through Zhang Xian's mind, but now he was in a difficult situation, and when he thought of how terrible Zhang Xianguang was, he knew that he had no other way to retaliate against him.

In this world, there are only a few people who can make Zhang Xianguang pay the price.

If there was a way to find the real store manager, the real him, he would be more willing to negotiate with him, even if it meant giving up everything he had.

"I came here with sincerity. Although I still have no clue, at least I have a direction. And even if I fail, you won't lose anything, right? At most, I need you to provide me with some resources and conveniences in the next operation, that's all."

Under the terrifying pressure, Zhang Xian used up all his strength to finish saying this sentence.

Fang Shiming glanced at him coldly and said, "I don't believe in traitors. No matter what reasons they have, they can't change this identity. But I can provide you with some conveniences, but you need to show me the results in a short time."

There is no punishment for something that cannot be done, because there is no need to talk about it, and everyone knows the answer.

Zhang Xian also knew it, but he didn't care at all, "Okay!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shiming suddenly closed his eyes, and a thick white mist surged out of his body, instantly covering him.

Zhang Xian: “???”

Could it be that he has been paying attention to this place and listening to their conversation, so he became interested and came here to talk in person?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but get excited, "Manager, I..."

The white foggy ghost domain turned into a stream of light that shot up into the sky and disappeared into the horizon in an instant, leaving Zhang Xian standing there alone, confused, dazed and at a loss as to what to do.

"I didn't expect Zhang Xian to have such ambitions. It's a pity that he is too weak and hasn't found the right partner. Let's see how the situation develops in the future. If there is a chance, we can prepare a rival for Zhang Xianguang. This way, the game will be more interesting."

The white fog ghost domain is filled with Lin Yuan’s will.

As the growth rate of the Peace Hotel exceeds that of the White Mist Ghost Domain, although it has not yet reached a complete balance with the White Mist Ghost Domain, it is enough for Lin Yuan to have more means.

Like now.

He doesn't need to show up in person at all. He can do whatever he wants through the white mist seeds he left behind.

"I thought Fang Shiming was in Dajing City now, but there are already White Mist Seeds in Dajing City. Guo Fan has one, and Tong Qian... Huh? Tong Qian is not in Dajing City, but went to ZS City? Forget it, one is enough, so Fang Shiming can go to other cities, don't waste it."

Originally, Fang Shiming was caught up in the white fog ghost domain and was preparing to return to Dajing City, but he quickly adjusted his direction and headed towards the nearest city without the white fog seeds.

Um... Oju City?

When passing by a city, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, because here lived the god of the last era, who ended the existence of an era - Zhangdong!
Lin Yuan has always had the opportunity to meet Zhang Dong.

It was just because of his fear and various other reasons that he did not go. Even the "reminder" from Zhang Youhong through Liu Qingqing's body was suppressed by him.

He didn't want to face Zhang Dong face to face until he was absolutely sure.

But if it’s just the big cities…

"Zhang Dong should be nearing the end of his life now, right? According to the time when Yang Jian became a ghost rider, it should be about the end of his life. He should not interfere in the affairs of the outside world anymore."

"If he really had an opinion about my methods, he should have taken action a long time ago."

"Perhaps, we can give it a try?"

Lin Yuan thought about it and directly threw Fang Shiming into Dazhou City.

Perhaps because Zhang Dong's old house is in Dazhou City, there have been basically no supernatural incidents in Dazhou City, at least none of them have been discovered by the headquarters.

Therefore, there is no person in charge here, and everything is just like a normal city, with nothing unusual.

until today.

Fang Shiming, who was shrouded in the white fog ghost area, fell directly to the center of Dazhou City like a meteor, but his appearance did not attract much attention.

Even though it was night, there were still people coming and going and cars and streams of people. But no one was surprised at the appearance of this apparently incredible white fog, as if it had always existed, and as if it could not be seen at all.

The white mist dissipated, revealing Fang Shiming's figure.

But unlike the pitiful image of him being bent over by the ghost coffin before, Fang Shiming now stood straight. The ghost coffin was still there, but it was no longer pressing on his back. Instead, it had turned into a palm-sized pocket coffin, appearing in the palm of Fang Shiming's hand. His eyes were no longer the eyes of a normal person, but were filled with white mist.

This is Fang Shiming, whose body was invaded and occupied by Lin Yuan.

Just like he borrowed Shen Lin's body before, Lin Yuan now borrowed Fang Shiming's body and used it to walk the world, like a god descending from ancient times.

As long as there is a suitable carrier, immortals and gods who cannot live forever in the world can appear in the world.

This was the case with Shen Lin, Fang Shiming, Tong Qian, Guo Fan, Wei Jing, Cao Yang, Li Leping, Liu San, Su Fan and so on. Even people like Zhang Xianguang, as long as they stayed at the Peace Hotel for one night, Lin Yuan had already planted the white mist seed in them.

However, for his own employees, this white mist seed is activated, which can protect their consciousness forever and prevent it from being destroyed by those who are weaker than Lin Yuan.

The others were just ordinary guests and did not have the status of employees, so the white mist seed was also hidden and unknown to them.

Lin Yuan now walks on the streets of Dazhou City with the help of Fang Shiming's body.

It was clearly just a simple walk, but his movements were eerily fast. With one step, he had already walked across an entire street, as if he had the magical power to shrink the distance to an inch.

It was not until he reached the old town that he stopped and looked ahead.

This is an ancestral temple, and it is very popular and magnificently built. Even at midnight, it is still brightly lit and there are people guarding it all night.

The surname of the ancestral hall is Zhang!

This is the ancestral hall belonging to the He family. Inside the hall, one can see countless tablets, and at a rough glance there are hundreds of them.

But at the very top, there is only one tablet.

Unlike other tablets, this one has only one word on it: Zhang, without the date of birth and death, etc. It looks very simple, yet it makes people feel extremely respectful.

Lin Yuan looked at the tablet and suddenly laughed, "It seems that you have no intention of meeting me either."

"I'm just a dying man, and I never thought I would see someone like you before I die. But I have a question, and I hope you can answer it for me." An incredibly old voice came from the tablet.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "You can ask as much as you want, but whether I answer or not is my own business."

"My friend is really interesting. In that case, let me ask you: Are you a God?" the voice inquired.

Lin Yuan looked strange, "God? Who knows? Even I don't know my own situation right now, but what is certain is that if nothing unexpected happens, I won't have to worry about my lifespan."

"Then I understand." The voice seemed relieved and filled with satisfaction.

Lin Yuan said: "I thought you would ask me about what happened twenty years ago."

"The past cannot be retrieved. Since it has already happened, why bother to inquire about it again? As long as the future is still there, that is enough."

The old voice gradually faded away and finally became inaudible.

Lin Yuan took a deep look at the tablet, turned around and left. At the same time, the white mist in this body quickly expanded, and in a very short time, it completely enveloped Dazhou City.

In the white fog, the entire Dazhou city seemed to have pressed the pause button.

All the vehicles stopped and everyone stood still with their eyes closed, but they were still breathing, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep.

At this time, Dazhou City seemed to have turned into a ghost town, silent and silent.

There was only a murmur that was fading away, "That voice, was it really him?"

……

In ZS City, Zhong Shan looked at Tong Qian, who had her hair tied up beside him and had two faces, one crying and one laughing, while he himself had no expression on his face. There was awe in his eyes, but there was a flattering tone in his words, "Captain Tong, you've worked so hard. You work at the Peace Hotel during the day, and you have to help me look after the Caesar Hotel at night."

Tong Qian said: "ZS City was once the city I was responsible for. When something happened here, I came to take a look when I had nothing to do. It didn't take much effort."

There have been many unusual changes at Caesar Hotel in recent days.

Clearly, there was only a big commotion a few months ago when the virtual game came to ZS City. But recently, in just a few days, there have been huge changes.

First, in the evening, a white fog and ghost domain descended, and a man who was suspected to be the real store manager appeared, leading a group of ghosts.

Then in the morning, dozens of robots ran out of the hotel and went to sunbathe. According to the store manager, the robots needed to be charged with solar energy, and they needed to be charged almost every day.

Although these changes are regular and logical, they still need to be watched carefully. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, there will be no time or opportunity to remedy the situation.

Zhongshan’s strength is still too weak, and this is not a position for retirement.

"But the headquarters is still very short of staff, and there is no more suitable candidate for the time being, so I have to take care of it." Tong Qian sighed secretly.

The emergence of Peace Hotel is a good thing, bringing a new change to this desperate world.

Many ghost handlers who are on the verge of resurrection have the opportunity to prolong their lives in the Peace Hotel. This gives them more hope and reduces the danger to these ghost handlers, so they don't take risks.

Recently, the number of ghost riders in the country has increased a bit, but perhaps because there is no major life crisis, only a small number of people are willing to join the headquarters.

This is why, even though the number of Ghost Riders is increasing, the number of people in charge at the headquarters is still so scarce.

"Perhaps, we need to recruit talents from the Peace Hotel."

Tong Qian began to think about how to poach people from the Peace Hotel... No, those ghost riders who just went there to eat were not members of the Peace Hotel, so it didn't count as poaching.

I can only use the Peace Hotel as a platform to do my own things.

"Oh no! The Caesar Hotel is shrouded in the white fog ghost domain again... No, no! The white fog ghost domain is spreading!!!" Zhong Shan screamed in shock.

Tong Qian looked up, but it was too late.

The white fog ghost domain that emerged from the Caesar Hotel had completely enveloped her location, and at an extremely fast speed, enveloped the entire ZS city.

The consciousness became somewhat suffocated, the body lost the ability to move, and all the supernatural powers were suppressed, as if it was a bug that fell into resin.

No, her current condition was worse than the bugs in the resin.

It was because she found that her consciousness could no longer function and she was about to fall into darkness, which made her feel extremely bitter: "Is it because I wanted to use the Peace Hotel platform for free and didn't think about paying the fee, so the manager punished me?"

After this thought, Tong Qian's consciousness fell completely into darkness.

……

In Dahai City, Awu is investigating some strange guys who have recently appeared near the Peace Hotel branch, and has already got some clues.

But, these are just some clues.

"These people seem to have no connection, but they all care about the branch inexplicably. Their usual lifestyles are all in violation of this rule. It can't be that simple. There must be something I haven't discovered. What is it?"

Awu's strength is far inferior to Ye Zhen's, but his wisdom is not bad.

Without enough information, he also figured out the pianist's methods, but without an invading medium, he could not find the way to the world of consciousness.

"Oh no! Oh no! Something happened at the branch!" An assistant rushed in hurriedly, but before Awu could ask, he realized something was wrong.

In the originally closed room, countless pink peach petals suddenly fell from the ceiling.

The peach petals quickly fell to the ground, forming a thick layer, but when he moved his body, he couldn't touch them at all.

"What's this?"

Ah Wu had no idea what these supernatural phenomena represented, which made him deeply aware of his own shortcomings. However, he had one good point, which was that he would not show off his strength: "Boss, I'm Ah Wu. There's a problem in Dahai City, and we need your help..."

Before he finished leaving the message, Awu closed his eyes and his body fell into a state of stagnation.

At the same time, the entire Dahai City was shrouded in a beautiful pink peach blossom rain, which looked so strange, beautiful, yet extremely dangerous.
