I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 490 Human Choice, Personal Choice
White, pure white!

"Where is this place?"

Yang Jian opened his eyes and looked around, but he could only see a pure white space. Apart from the almost extreme white, there was no other color.

And in such a world, countless people are neatly lined up in rows and rows.

Yang Jian was among them, trying to move, but his body seemed to be paused and unable to move. Only his consciousness and eyeballs could move.

"Li Leping?"

"Tong Qian? Zhong Shan? Fang Shiming? Ye Zhen? Su Fan? Xiong Wenwen? He Yuelian? Lin Bei? Lu Zhiwen?"

Because of the crowd and the angle, he shouldn't have seen many people, but even so, the people he saw were basically people he was familiar with.

Not only the captain and person in charge of the headquarters, but also some of his friends:
"Wang Shanshan! Zhang Wei!"

At the same time, Tong Qian, Ye Zhen, Fang Shiming and others also woke up. They also found something wrong around them, but they could not move or communicate. They were completely trapped here.

Unable to speak, unable to move.

It was as if they were possessed by a ghost, and everyone was in an extremely weird state.

"Is it a consciousness-type supernatural being?"

Yang Jian quickly called out to the evil dog Ghost Dream in his heart. If it was really a conscious evil ghost attacking him, he had means to counter it.

But no matter how he shouted in his heart, the evil dog Guimeng seemed to have disappeared. It did not appear at all, nor did it respond to him even a little bit.

So, what's going on?

A feeling of uneasiness surged from Yang Jian's heart, and various complex emotions also began to surge from the bottom of his heart. But when these emotions surged out, he was stunned again, "My emotions are back? So, is this the manager's ghost domain? He used his power to gather all our consciousness together and forcibly put it into this unknown space?"

Not only Yang Jian realized this, but others also more or less guessed it.

Especially after seeing the people nearby, I became more and more convinced of this, because basically everyone here possesses supernatural powers.

Just by looking at their lively eyes, you can tell that these people are definitely not puppets, but have real souls and selves.

There is no other possibility except the store manager who can gather so many ghost riders, or people who have possessed supernatural powers through alternative means.

No, maybe there is, but at least from what has been discovered so far, there is no way.

So, the store manager gathered everyone here to declare his rule?
At a certain moment, a grand voice sounded in everyone's heart:
"Someone told me that there is only one way to end the supernatural era, and that is to create the strongest ghost domain, put all humans in it, and then use this ghost domain to block the invasion of other evil spirits, so as to achieve a normal world without ghosts. Some people may have heard of the name of this plan, which is: Peach Blossom Spring!"

"The Peach Blossom Spring Project has actually failed, but it still has the potential to succeed."

"But this is a plan that determines the fate of everyone, so naturally it is up to everyone to vote and let them decide for themselves whether they are willing to accept such a fate."

"That's why I brought everyone together to initiate this vote."

"Everyone has one vote. Whether you are a ghost rider or an ordinary person, you have the right to vote for your own future. Next, cast your most precious vote, no matter what the result is."

Finally, the voice disappeared, but two illusory option boxes appeared in front of everyone's eyes, one was "Agree" and the other was "Reject".

Everyone is still in a state of restraint, but they can decide through consciousness whether to vote in favor or against.

"So, this vote involves not only ghost riders, but ordinary people as well? The store manager has pulled the human consciousness of the entire world into this space? Just to vote for Zhang Xianguang's plan? Zhang Xianguang, what right does he have?" Yang Jian thought to himself.

Fang Shiming, Tong Qian, He Yuelian and others were also in a bad mood.

They all knew about the Peach Blossom Spring Project, including He Yuelian, who was the tool of the Peach Blossom Spring Project and the biggest beneficiary of the Project.

But what?
Why, why could Zhang Xianguang's plan be resurrected again, be promoted with such great force by Him, and summon countless people's consciousness to come to this space for a referendum?
Why? ! ! !

At the same time, in the sky where no one could look up, Lin Yuan was standing there quietly, and beside him were Zhang Xianguang, Wei Jing, Wang Chaling, and the Wang Lu couple.

They all looked down with complicated and shocked expressions.

In their eyes, the world below was divided into two parts, and the proportions of the two parts were very exaggerated. The small part on the left was only the size of a fist, while the part on the right was larger than a football field.

In these two parts of the world, there are densely packed figures, or rather, consciousness that has been pulled into this space from reality.

Each figure corresponds to a person in reality.

The fist-sized world on the left is full of ghost riders or people with supernatural powers, while the big world on the right is full of ordinary people.

However, in front of those who stood next to the store manager, they could also see two virtual dialog boxes, one of which was "Agree" and the other was "Reject".

But unlike what the consciousness below can see, they do not have the option to vote. The two boxes in front of them are data columns showing the votes of "agree" or "reject", as well as the proportional values.

The "Agree" column is a green data column, and the "Reject" column is a red data column. The two data columns are rising alternately.

At the moment, the voting data of the two sides are actually on par?
"Isn't this... a little too exaggerated?"

Wei Jing's voice trembled, not because of the two worlds below that were starting to vote, but because of the power displayed by Lin Yuan.

Can He really pull all the human consciousness in the world into this space in an instant?

Does this also prove that as long as He wants, He can attack everyone instantly, turning the world into a dead place with no living people left?
Even though His strength had been greatly overestimated in the past, and people believed He possessed powers like gods and immortals, and even the fact that the range had been restarted for decades had been accepted by everyone.

But this scene before him completely made Wei Jing's mind go blank.

Lin Yuan shook his head. "It's not too exaggerated. Because of my current strength, I just pulled in all the awareness that I could in the country. This is already a huge burden for me. At least now I can't influence the whole world."

Hearing Lin Yuan's "modest" words, everyone fell silent.

But Lin Yuan did not stop, and continued: "It's just a pity that a small number of people hid in the safe house made of gold. They can't be affected by my supernatural power, so naturally they can't come here. Just regard it as a waiver. It's not a big problem."

The truth is a little more difficult than what Lin Yuan said.

Covering the entire country with the White Fog Ghost Domain was too much pressure for him. Even though he had temporarily recruited the power of seven elders such as Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua to increase the horror level of the Peace Hotel, it was still a little short of the fully and actively revived White Fog Ghost Domain.

According to Lin Yuan's estimation, perhaps only by turning Zhangdong into a puzzle piece of the Peace Hotel can the White Mist Ghost Domain be fully revived, allowing him to use the White Mist Ghost Domain without any scruples.

Only then could he use the White Fog Ghost Realm to implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan that Zhang Xianguang mentioned.

of course.

This means that Lin Yuan agreed with Zhang Xianguang's plan, but there are some things that he may not agree with, but he must have them so as not to be controlled by others.

So after trying it for a while, Lin Yuan started to take shortcuts.

The essence of this world is the Nightmare Castle. After being controlled by Lin Yuan, it has undergone several transformations. The image is not important; what is important is the effect.

In Lin Yuan's hands, the power of Nightmare can be fully revived, but it is still under his control.

It was also through the power of nightmares that Lin Yuan pulled all the people he could into this world of consciousness and let them vote for their fate.

As for if he really succeeds in his investment, will he implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan?

nonsense!

Lin Yuan is an honest young man. He will definitely do whatever he promised. But... did he promise Zhang Xianguang that he would implement the Peach Blossom Spring Plan as long as the vote was successful?
Probably, no?

"This is enough. The store manager is right. Since it involves the fate of all mankind, it is natural to let everyone vote for their fate." Zhang Xianguang said.

And when he was speaking, there was obviously one more person voting "yes".

Wei Jing glanced at Zhang Xianguang coldly, "You are too dangerous."

"So, are you going to wait until the game is over and then find an opportunity to defeat me? I hope you can wait until then." Zhang Xianguang directly pointed out Wei Jing's thoughts and said as a matter of course.

Wei Jing did not respond.

After the game is over, he will report to the headquarters about defeating Zhang Xianguang, or rather, defeating Lingyi Guang, and he believes that the headquarters will agree.

Just as he said just now, Zhang Xianguang is too dangerous!
In reality, Zhang Xianguang did not find Him, but he ran into the game and found Him from forty years ago, and then influenced Him in reality, causing such a horrifying scene.

If He really wanted to drag everyone into the white fog ghost realm, what a desperate scene that would be?
“Manager, even if we vote, we have to…” Wei Jing still wanted to fight for it, because there were more people voting “yes” now.

Maybe in the end, Zhang Xianguang's Peach Blossom Spring plan would really get the approval of the majority. If He really wanted to implement the Peach Blossom Spring plan, He would not have to wait until the next time, and could complete it today. However, when He subconsciously glanced at the two data beams of the vote, He instantly changed His words, "The minority obeys the majority, this is a matter of course."

Just because now, the number of people who voted "no" has surpassed, accounting for 60%.

"Heh!" Zhang Xianguang chuckled and didn't say anything.

Wei Jing pretended not to hear anything. He suddenly thought of another thing, "Manager, for this vote, you dragged everyone in, including ordinary people. That means everyone knows about the resurrection of the evil spirit. This way, when they return to reality, they may cause panic or even unrest."

Why didn't the headquarters announce the news of the evil spirit's revival to the whole society so that everyone could learn more knowledge and have a glimmer of hope when facing supernatural events?
Aren't you worried that chaos will break out?

Not to mention the unpredictable supernatural events such as the resurrection of evil spirits, even some doomsday crises, zombie outbreaks, and other things that sound like plots from movies, novels, or games can potentially trigger zero-dollar purchases.

It is also because of the efforts of the headquarters that when there is chaos abroad, most people in the country can still live in a normal world without worrying about supernatural events and attacks by evil spirits.

But now?

Wei Jing could already imagine what kind of terrible conflict would break out in reality after the voting was over and when the ordinary people here returned to reality!

"Don't worry, when I send them back, I will erase their memories of this period of time, and no one will remember what happened here." Lin Yuan said.

Wei Jing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Zhang Xianguang's expression slightly changed, "Manager, can you erase the memories of a large area, including those ghost riders below?"

Wei Jing also noticed something was wrong and understood the meaning of Zhang Xianguang's words.

You know, in reality there are many old people who have lived from decades or even hundreds of years ago to the present, and there is an old man named Qin in charge of the headquarters.

Needless to say, they are very powerful and have experienced countless supernatural events.

Logically speaking, even if Qin Lao and others have not participated in the Peace Hotel and its manager's current performance in the virtual game and Wang Lu's diary, they should have heard about it.

But it is incredible that no one has any memory of the Peace Hotel or its manager.

Now Lin Yuan has actually demonstrated the ability to erase the memories of more than one billion people within a certain period of time on a large scale, or even at the same time.

Does this mean that Lin Yuan once used this supernatural power to erase his existence from everyone's memory?

"can."

Lin Yuan knew what they were thinking, but he didn't lie.

He could really do it, and the cost was not particularly high, it was just a bit troublesome. His promise made Wei Jing silent.

The voting was still going on. Zhang Xianguang and Wei Jing were both staring at the light column nervously, with no other thoughts at all. On the contrary, Wang Chaling seemed to be indifferent.

"I thought you would also stand on Wei Jing's side." Wang Lu suddenly said.

Wang Chaling glanced at Lin Yuan calmly, "I won't stand on either side of them, because... they are all too stupid. Or maybe their desire to win has made them lose their initial judgment."

Wang Lu asked: "What do you want to say?"

"They have all forgotten that the store manager in front of them is the store manager from forty years ago, and he has not promised Zhang Xianguang or Wei Jing. The result of the vote is the choice he will make. Why are they still arguing about it? What's the point?" Wang Chaling said with disdain, a kind of contempt that came from wisdom.

Wang Lu's eyes were filled with disappointment. "You said you studied abroad, so what did you learn? Is it possible that all they need is a possibility to influence Him?"

That disappointed look deeply irritated Wang Chaling, making him very unwilling to accept it. "What is the possibility?"

But as soon as he said this, he understood.

Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang actually knew that Lin Yuan had not agreed to anything at all, but through this vote, he was able to see everyone's choice and collective will.

Then at some certain moment in the future, will the result of this vote become a major factor influencing His choice?
"So, is that so?"

There are over 10,000 people, and there are no boundaries.

There are more than one billion people here now. What a spectacular scene it is!

Unfortunately, this scene can only be seen by Lin Yuan, Wei Jing, Zhang Xianguang, Wang Chaling who happened to be next to him, and the Wang Lu couple who were given personalities and memories by the evil ghost.

But their attention is not on this.

Wang Cha Ling was thinking about Wang Lu's words. He was not worried that Wang Lu would harm him, even though Wang Lu had said many times that he would not let him be born in this world.

It was a sense of closeness that came from blood, which made him absolutely believe that this was his father.

Tiger poison does not eat children.

So, am I really wrong?
Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang's attention was all on the red and blue light columns that were constantly rising alternately, hoping that a more favorable result would emerge.

Time passed by minute by minute, but it was extremely difficult for Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang.

Finally, at a certain moment, the red and blue light beams that were originally rising rapidly and alternately stopped. Looking at the final result, Wei Jing and Zhang Xianguang were silent, and then turned their heads to look at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was also a little surprised. Seeing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you suspect that I did something to deliberately make the number of people who chose the two options equal?"

That's right.

The final result is that the number of people who voted "yes" and "no" was equal, the heights of the red and blue light columns were the same, and the voting ratios above were both 50%.

"No, store manager, you have no reason to do that. I just think that this vote is a bit inappropriate. Not everyone is involved, so there will always be some omissions. If the voting results are quite different, then there is naturally no problem, but now the number of votes is the same, and the votes of these people are very important." Zhang Xianguang said.

Without Lin Yuan saying anything, Wei Jing snorted coldly: "Why, do you still want to go to the safe house and pull those people out to vote?"

He had just looked at it carefully.

In the fist-sized world, Cao Yanhua, Li Jun and others do not exist, which means that they are now in a safe house.

So even though he is dissatisfied now, if Zhang Xianguang can really convince Lin Yuan, then he doesn't have too much to worry about.

Zhang Xianguang shook his head. "That's not necessary. Since they missed this important moment, there's no need to force them. But we are still here. We are also part of the present world. We haven't voted yet, right? Manager, I hope that as part of the present world, we can also have the opportunity to participate in the vote."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "This is natural."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xianguang found that there were two more voting options in front of him. He then clicked the "Agree" button without hesitation and glanced at Wei Jing.

Wei Jing also clicked the "Reject" button as quickly as possible, then looked at Wang Chaling, "Captain Wang, it's your turn to make a choice. And Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang, please..."

"We don't have a button to choose, probably because we belong to your past, not your present," Wang Lu said.

The woman also nodded, confirming this.

So, the last vote fell on Wang Chaling, but what made Wei Jing uneasy was that Wang Chaling did not firmly choose "refuse", which made him feel uneasy.

"Captain Wang, you don't want to enter the so-called Peach Blossom Spring, do you?" Wei Jing asked.

Wang Chaling did not answer him. Instead, he glanced at Zhang Xianguang, then at Lin Yuan, and asked softly, "Boss Lin, in your world, as long as I pay a price, I can go back to the past and see my parents. Is that right?"

Lin Yuan looked at him deeply, but suddenly disappeared from the spot, obviously unwilling to influence Wang Chaling's choice because of himself.

"It seems that you are the one who understands it best. The so-called Peach Blossom Spring not only gives the living a stable future, but also gives the living a chance to see the deceased. Ghost paintings won't work because their horror level is not that high. There is no way to restart the area for decades at a time, but the store manager can do it. Or, you are willing to gamble on your luck and bet that the future virtual game can once again return to the era when your parents existed." Zhang Xianguang said.

Wang Chaling took a deep breath and said, "I understand."

Then he made his own choice, but the moment he made the choice, this pure white world of consciousness without any other colors began to collapse.

In other words, all consciousness was driven away.

Of course, before this, everyone’s memory of this place was erased, as if it had never happened.

Only Wei Jing, Zhang Xianguang, and Wang Chaling retained their memories, but also returned to the Peace Hotel, the one located outside the virtual game Dadong City.

"Wang Chaling, you are so disappointing and too selfish." Wei Jing looked at Wang Chaling with indifference in his eyes.

Wang Cha Ling didn't care at all. What he cared about was never Wei Jing or the headquarters, but his family. However, even his family were staring at him with indifference at this moment.

Wang Lu's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he no longer had the desire to reprimand Wang Chaling. "Brother Lin, come here this time..."
