Chapter 555: Supernatural version of hibernation capsule freezing technology, the deceased

Half an hour passed quickly, and the scenery outside the taxi window suddenly changed.

This is a county town, but the architectural style of this county town does not look modern at all. Instead, it looks like the style of the 1980s and 1990s, and is a bit old.

The town was deserted and the streets were quiet, like a dead city.

"Is this the destination? It feels very dangerous." Guo Fan's heart was slightly moved, but when he saw Lin Yuan sitting quietly beside him with his eyes closed and resting, his heart calmed down again.

"With the boss here, all the evil spirits are nothing but scum. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

Liu Qingqing was also looking at the county town, and asked in her mind: "This county town doesn't look like there are people, it looks more like there are ghosts living in it. Are you kidding me?"

"There is nothing to lie to you about. If I want to attack you, He will not stand idly by." Zhang Youhong said.

Liu Qingqing didn't say anything else. She originally wanted to make Zhang Youhong understand this point. However, she originally planned to go into the county town with Zhang Youhong alone and first consult with Zhang Youhong's former partners to avoid being exposed in front of Lin Yuan.

But now it seems that it is better to be safe.

The ghost taxi was driving slowly on the road in the county town. Without Lin Yuan's signal, Guo Fan did not dare to stop the car.

"Xiao Liu, let me know when you get there."

Lin Yuan suddenly spoke up and gave the right to choose the parking location to Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing responded, looking at this unfamiliar city, and said according to Zhang Youhong's instructions in her mind: "Turn left ahead... go straight here... turn right again... this is it, it's OK."

The ghost taxi stopped in front of an ordinary building.

This building is unremarkable in this county town. The only difference is that the main door of the building is a double-opening red wooden door.

The paint on the wooden door has peeled off due to time, and there are many strange marks left on the door.

There are tooth marks and claw marks.

I don’t know what happened to this wooden door.

Fortunately, the door was still intact, even the lock on it was still there and had not been damaged.

"Xiao Liu, is the person you are looking for here?" Lin Yuan also noticed the wooden door and said in a deep voice, "It seems that no one lives here, and this city should be a dead city, right?"

Liu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Brother Yuan, did you see anything?"

At the same time, in her heart, she had already started begging:

Dear Brother Yuan, please don’t make any messy settings, it will kill people!

The person who could most intuitively feel Liu Qingqing's mood was Zhang Youhong.

Because in Liu Qingqing's sea of ​​consciousness, she actually saw a tribute platform in front of the ball of light wrapped in white mist, which represented Liu Qingqing's consciousness.

And this ball of light actually moved up and down several times, as if it was praying to God.

Zhang Youhong watched this scene with great interest, without any worry that her teammates might be ruined by the "store manager" persona. "This Liu Qingqing is also quite interesting."

Perhaps her prayers worked, Lin Yuan did not say anything shocking, but just said: "The architectural style of this city is old. If it were just one or two buildings, it would be fine. It could be said that it maintains the ancient style and creates a characteristic town, but this is a county town, it is impossible for the architecture to lag behind by decades.

If it was a normal county town, even a completely retro one, it would be impossible for there to be no one here. This kind of county town is clearly a tourist town, and even in the off-season, there should be local businesses and residents, but now there is no one.

Looking at the marks on the door, it is clear that it is evidence of a beast invasion. So I wonder if this city has been breached by monsters. Have those monsters grown to this extent? "

Lin Yuan looked solemn.

His words also stunned Guo Fan and Liu Qingqing, but they soon realized the reason:

In the perception of the "store manager", which is also the worldview deliberately guided by the headquarters, monsters and wild beasts are hostile to humans and have experience of large-scale invasions of cities.

For example, when He Yuelian was "sick", she went to Dachang City to seek medical treatment and happened to encounter the Dachang City starving ghost incident.

The "store manager" mistook that incident as a beast attacking the city, and he tamed the watchdog, the starving ghost Lao Hua, bringing a little more peace to the Peace Hotel.

Now, there seems to be nothing wrong with having another city attacked by monsters and wild beasts?
"Brother Yuan, what should we do now? If it is really monsters attacking the city, maybe this place has become a nest of monsters and wild beasts. If we stay here any longer, we might be in danger." Guo Fan also became anxious.

Of course, his anxiety was pretended to match Lin Yuan's understanding.

In terms of how to please leaders, Guo Fan read a lot of books all night, especially on the workplace, which also gave him a lot of experience.

In the past, Lin Yuan had rarely ridden in his car and had little contact time with him, so he had no chance to show his abilities.

I have the skills to slay dragons, but no chance to use them!
God knows how aggrieved Guo Fan was at that time. Now that he finally has the chance, he naturally cannot give up. At least looking at his solemn and worried expression, it is difficult to tell whether he really thinks so or is just pretending.

Anyway, Liu Qingqing couldn't tell the difference.

Just when Liu Qingqing was shocked by Guo Fan's performance, Lin Yuan had already given a positive answer, "You are right. If you stay here, you may indeed be in danger. Xiao Liu, are your friends in this house? Are they survivors?"

"Liu Qingqing!"

Zhang Youhong shouted and called back Liu Qingqing who was in a trance. She didn't bother to "thank" Zhang Youhong and quickly replied: "Brother Yuan, they are here, but I don't know whether they are survivors or not."

"understood."

Lin Guo said solemnly, "Since I agreed to come with you, I naturally want to see a result. Let's go in quickly before those possible beasts come out. Xiao Guo, go back to the store and move quickly. Call Lao Hei, Lao Hua and Lao Fan to help."

"understand!"

Guo Fan immediately agreed, and then said worriedly: "But Brother Yuan, I..."

"Stop being so fussy. Why are you acting like a woman? If Brother Yuan tells you to go back, just go back immediately. Don't be so hesitant." Liu Qingqing confronted him directly.

Guo Fan was furious, but he didn't dare to vent his anger. After a cold snort, he watched Lin Yuan and Liu Qingqing get out of the car, then he stepped on the accelerator and almost spilled the fuel tank.

Burnout start!

The ghost taxi shot out like an arrow, and the roar of the engine sounded more like the howling of a ghost, harsh and weird.

"Xiao Guo's driving skills have improved. It looks like this time he will be able to make a round trip in a shorter time. This is good. If we really run into any trouble, he can go faster and we won't have to waste resources."

Lin Yuan looked very satisfied.

If Guo Fan's speed is too slow, he and Liu Qingqing will get into trouble again, and Guo Fan will not be able to bring the guard and the two dogs over at the right time, then he can only achieve his goal through the "Golden Finger".

Although the consumption of the "Golden Finger" is not worth mentioning compared to the current accumulation of the Peace Hotel, it is better to save some.

"There's a lock on this door. Do you have a key?"

There was a lock on the gate, and it was locked from the outside. This made Lin Yuan seriously doubt whether there was anyone inside. If there was, could it be the food raised by the wild beasts?

"Have."

Liu Qingqing took out a key from her cheongsam, and with a creak, the lock on the door was opened.

There was darkness inside the old mahogany door, and something looked very wrong.

Liu Qingqing was still wary of Zhang Youhong, and hesitated when she saw this scene, but Lin Yuan walked straight in, and she didn't even have time to stop him.

As soon as I entered, the lights in the room came on.

Lin Yuan was immediately amused. "There were sensor lights decades ago? But it looks a bit weird here."

Under the light, the situation in the room appeared before the two of them.

There are many old-style wooden beds here, neatly arranged, with corpses lying on them.

The corpses were all dressed in clothes from the Republic of China period. In addition, their faces were covered with pieces of yellow paper. The entry of Lin Yuan and Liu Qingqing did not disturb the yellow papers on the bed.

Because the people on the wooden bed were not ghosts, but living people.

But these people have fallen into a deep sleep, and only by removing the yellow paper can they wake up.

But when everyone fell into a deep sleep, no one helped them tear off the yellow paper, which meant that these people would continue to sleep.

"Is this... a fake death mask?"

As Lin Yuan spoke, the yellow papers on the faces of these living people all began to change, turning into masks that fit tightly on these people's faces.

Liu Qingqing asked doubtfully: "Brother Yuan, do you recognize these... masks?"

"Well, did you forget? Xiao Zhou, when Zhou Deng first came to the store, he had no money and almost ate a free meal. He used this to pay for his meal."

Lin Yuan explained, then punched his own palm and said in annoyance: "Xiao Zhou is too smart. I thought this mask was very valuable, but I didn't expect there are so many here! But your friends should be fine. I guess they use this method to avoid the wild beasts and monsters in the city, right? In this way, those monsters and wild beasts only like living things and don't like to touch corpses?" "Brother Yuan, should I go up and wake them up now?" Liu Qingqing asked.

Lin Yuan said: "This is your friend, so of course you should go and call him... Uh! I see, you want me to stay away. Okay, you two should have something to talk about, so I'll leave this to you."

Such understanding made Liu Qingqing feel a little embarrassed.

But she didn't force Lin Yuan to stay, because she really needed some space of her own. "Zhang Youhong, if you can't guarantee that these people will obey my orders in the future, even if I wake them up this time, I can still let Brother Yuan deal with them."

She glanced overhead.

When Lin Yuan walked out of the mahogany door, the light that had been on for a long time began to flicker, as if there was a poor contact, making the originally dim environment a little weird.

"Don't worry, I understand this and I won't make it difficult for you. These friends of mine are just poor people struggling to survive in a desperate world. Now that they have a sufficiently secure life, they will naturally not act recklessly."

After a pause, Zhang Youhong continued, "But when the time comes, I may need to come and talk to them."

"Okay, I'll give you control of my body for now."

Liu Qingqing pretended to be magnanimous and gave up control of her body. For a moment, her temperament changed instantly, becoming more stable and more charming.

And the eyes.

Her eyes became deep, and she raised her hand to look for a few times. She sighed secretly and then said, "Don't worry, I am not your enemy. I have now found better options for everything I have done before."

"You are talking about Brother Yuan, right? Indeed, his power is hard to understand. Logically speaking, he is from your era. Don't you have any information about him? Have you never thought of asking him for help?"

In the world of consciousness, Liu Qingqing's consciousness turned into a human form, with a layer of mist surrounding her body, making her look as ethereal as a fairy in the sky.

In her eyes, there was a ball of consciousness as bright red as blood, which was also the manifestation of Zhang Youhong's consciousness.

Zhang Youhong rubbed her brows. This real physical touch made her very happy, but Liu Qingqing's question gave her a headache. "I don't remember. At least in my memory, He does not exist. Perhaps, as the headquarters of your era said, at some point, something big happened that was enough to subvert the world, so all memories of Him were erased.

If this guess is correct, then His power and the truth behind the resurrection of the evil spirit may be too much for us to bear. Well, let's not talk about this anymore. We ordinary people are too far away from His realm, so we don't need to think about such complicated things, so as not to worry about it. Now, it's time to wake up my former companions. "

Zhang Youhong's eyes moved slightly, and she selected a target, then took off the fake death mask and face covering paper on the target's face, revealing the appearance of a young woman who looked only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The next moment, the young woman opened her eyes and seemed to come back to life.

A hint of tenderness and joy flashed across Zhang Youhong's eyes, but soon her joy disappeared, replaced by fear and unwillingness to believe.

The woman opened her eyes and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

But in the next moment, as if it had weathered away in an instant, the body disintegrated at an incredible speed, and finally completely disappeared from sight, leaving nothing behind.

The face covering can make people fall into a deep sleep and remain immortal for a long time.

However, the woman on the bed seemed to have slept for too long. After the magical effect of the paper covering her face was gone, although she woke up, her body could no longer maintain the state it was in before falling asleep, and she died again.

"Failed?"

Zhang Youhong murmured to herself, and stretched out her hand to try to keep the woman on the wooden bed, but she could do nothing. Then she looked at the other people on the wooden beds, "I don't believe that everyone can't wake up? Even if only a few people wake up..."

She was unwilling to give up and walked towards another wooden bed.

Lying on the wooden bed is a man who looks very young, but he is now in a deep sleep. He has been displayed here like a corpse for nearly a hundred years.

The second fake death mask and the face covering paper were torn off.

The young man suddenly opened his eyes and woke up. With the help of the flickering light, he saw the woman in front of him, "Zhang Youhong, how long have I slept?"

The long years seemed to be just a moment to him.

Just as Zhang Youhong was about to answer, the horrible supernatural phenomenon occurred again. The man's body was disintegrating at an alarming speed, just like the first woman.

It's just that his condition is better and he can hold on longer, but it can't reverse the deterioration.

The man disappeared in astonishment and reluctance.

"how come……"

Zhang Youhong went to take down the fake death masks and face coverings on the other wooden beds. Liu Qingqing didn't even have time to stop her. "You are too impulsive. You should wait a little longer. Maybe I can finally understand why you don't remember Brother Yuan anymore."

The "store manager" was clearly right next to him.

Obviously, we can rely on His power.

But Zhang Youhong was so impulsive that she tore off the fake death masks and face coverings on everyone's faces. This action was really too reckless and too confident, even to the point of being conceited.

If she were Lin Yuan, the "store manager", she would not have much communication with Zhang Youhong if she met him.

One after another, old monsters who were suspected to have survived to the present day with the help of fake death masks and face coverings during the Republic of China period kept disappearing and dying. In Liu Qingqing's heart, there was no other attitude except shock.

The reason why it is so shocking is that I didn't expect that it was possible to use supernatural means to achieve the effect of such a high-tech human body freezing hibernation chamber, allowing people to live from the present to the future.

Unfortunately, this technology is obviously not very good and cannot completely delay the loss of body functions, which leads to this dissipated state.

On the contrary, it was Zhang Youhong's self-confident attitude of "believing in herself" and her choice not to rely on the "store manager" that made Liu Qingqing feel relieved.

"A Zhang Youhong like this can never replace me, let alone become me."

Perhaps even Zhang Youhong did not expect that her impulsive behavior would greatly reduce the threat she posed to Liu Qingqing, and their relationship would become more harmonious.

……

It’s not time for dinner yet, everyone is still resting.

Guo Fan's sudden return made He Yuelian and Tong Qian stand up immediately. He Yin'er seemed very calm, but she also looked at Guo Fan, "Where's Brother Yuan? Didn't he and Xiao Liu come back together? Did they go on a date?"

While speaking, she also glanced at He Yuelian.

But unfortunately, ever since He Yuelian got everything from the ghost painting, she would only lift up the red veil when in front of Lin Yuan.

Even in front of her colleagues, she usually covers her face with a red veil so that people cannot see her expression and thoughts.

But from her clenched fists, it could be seen that she was not calm, as if she would go berserk as long as Guo Fan answered yes.

Guo Fan carefully looked around the hall. "Xiao Liu asked the boss to take her to a county town. That county town is very strange. There may be many ghosts in it. The boss asked me to come back because he wanted to take Lao Fan, Lao Hei and Lao Hua with him to avoid any accidents."

As a result, with the permission of the "store manager", the time it took him to drive back was shortened from more than half an hour to twenty minutes, nearly half the time.

"Xiao Liu really wants to bring Brother Yuan to a dangerous place. Does she want to scare Brother Yuan so that she can protect him? Or does she want to pretend to be scared so that Brother Yuan will feel distressed?" He Yuelian's tone was calm, but her sarcasm was undisguised.

Everyone looked at each other and no one responded.

This was also the case for He Yin'er. They didn't want to get involved in the war between He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing. Tong Qian stepped forward and asked, "Do you need our help?"

"No need. We haven't found any problems yet. And if something really happens, it would be enough for Lao Fan, Lao Hei and Lao Hua to go." Guo Fan waved his hand.

Lin Yuan did not mention Tong Qian's name. He would not act on his own.

This is also a necessary ability for a considerate subordinate. However, considering the actual situation, he also added, "I am also paying attention to the situation over there. After all, I am also one of the witnesses."

Tong Qian then nodded.

As long as the information can be passed to the headquarters, she doesn't care.

Her great love for ordinary people will not affect her good impression of the Peace Hotel and the "manager" at all.

As long as she is not asked to do anything that is detrimental to the Peace Hotel, she will not have any negative emotions such as guilt, uneasiness, conflict, etc. in her heart.

"I'll go with you, otherwise if you go with Lao Fan, he might harass you." He Yuelian said.

Guo Fan's heart trembled, because at this time the ghost catcher Lao Fan had also appeared at the stairs, staring at him with a weird look.

That look was as if he wanted to eat him alive.

Behind the ghost messenger Lao Fan was Fang Shiming with a gloomy face, "If you want to go, let's go together. Xiao He, you can't attract Lao Fan's attention yet, I have to go."

He Yuelian was surprised and asked, "Didn't you always dislike being with Lao Fan? How come you've been dating twice and you've developed feelings for each other?"

"This is none of your business."

Fang Shiming snorted coldly. He had already regarded the ghost catcher as his own property. He was even prepared to sacrifice himself and choose to have the wedding of the century with the ghost catcher. How could he possibly let the ghost catcher be alone with Guo Fan?
He knew it very well.

Even though the ghost's eyes were so fiery towards him and Guo Fan, he was under the restraint of the "store manager" and it was impossible for him to do anything excessive to them.

What if he really let the Ghost Messenger go, and Guo Fan realized this and chose to snatch the Ghost Messenger from him, what should he do then?
