Chapter 361 Ghost Bank
In the ghost street, most of the remaining ghost controllers entered the shops they were interested in. They should not come out again until they confirm that the danger has been eliminated.
Those who were unwilling to obey the town’s arrangements had already left on their own.
But of course the town will not be responsible for their life or death.
We are all adults and must be responsible for our own choices.
He Liansheng brought the news of Cao Yang's arrival back to Lao He. Lao He pondered for a while and said, "Let you handle this matter. I still have to greet the guests."
Guests?
He Liansheng looked slightly startled, and then he discovered that there was another person in the ancestral hall. It was Lin Yuan, the manager of the Peace Hotel, as mentioned by Boss Liu.
After He Liansheng left, Lao He said: "Ah Sheng is a little impatient, but he has a good personality. I don't know where Boss Lin's Peace Hotel is. If I have a chance in the future, I will ask Ah Sheng to go there. Pay a visit.”
“Let’s talk about this later, if we have a chance.”
It's easy to get to the Peace Hotel. You can take a ghost bus or use the supernatural advertisement in his hand, but that only works in reality.
This is a virtual game world, what a pity.
When Lao He saw this, he stopped insisting and took Lin Yuan out of the ancestral hall, walking on the deserted ghost street, and soon arrived outside the ghost bank.
On both sides of the bank, there are still two white lanterns hanging, as well as some white cloth and paper curtains, indicating that the family is still in the mourning period.
Lao He did not knock on the door in a hurry, but said to one side: "Senior, why are you here?"
"Have a look. I was planning to go back if I have nothing to do. This should be the boss of the Peace Hotel, Boss Lin. I'm glad to meet you." The old man bowed his hand.
Is the way of greeting in this era still that of the previous era?
Lin Yuan looked at the old man and responded in the same way, "Mr. Luo is also interested in this bank?"
"No, I am very interested in you, Boss Lin. "The old man didn't hide his thoughts at all, "Besides, Boss Lin knows me?"
Lin Yuan nodded.
He naturally knows the old man in front of him, the owner of Endless Cemetery, Luo Qian!
In reality, Luo Qian's body was preserved as the control core of the Endless Cemetery, in the basement of the Peace Hotel, and has become a part of the Peace Hotel.
Unlike Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Bohua, Li Youhong, and Li Qingzhi, Luo Qian is completely dead, and unlike Luo Wensong, the puzzle is extremely incomplete and can be completely eroded by the Peace Hotel and forcibly accepted as his own puzzle. .
That’s what’s scary about the Peace Hotel.
It has a high tolerance for puzzles. As long as the supernatural being can barely be related to the hotel, it can be forcibly included as its own puzzle to complete its own supernatural being.
There are reasons why Luo Qian's image can be so perfect in this virtual game world.
Otherwise, there is no way to achieve this simply by relying on the memories of He Liansheng and Boss Liu.
"Perhaps, I should go to Baishui Town to have a look? The supernatural beings there can completely replicate a nearly real world, which is more applicable than the upper limit of Shen Lin's supernatural beings."
Luo Qian I am very interested in Lin Yuan.
His era has passed. Now he is an old man of several decades, and he still has several decades to live.
The most important thing is.
The beings who could truly be called gods in their era were still there, and together with them, they had been suppressing this era.
This is also the reason why there are fewer and fewer supernatural incidents and the life of ghost controllers is becoming safer and safer.
In the endless cemetery he suppressed, there was a supernatural presence in the grave soil. As long as he did not die, no ghost could crawl out of it, and there was no need to worry about losing control.
Besides this, if he encounters people or things of interest, he will naturally not miss them.
Lin Yuan gave him a strange feeling. He seemed to be ridiculously strong, but also seemed to be just an ordinary person. Of course, he would not think that Lin Yuan would be an ordinary person.
Then there is only one explanation:
Lin Yuan is very strong!
At least he is a strong man on the same level as him, and may even be more terrifying than him.
He had never heard of such a terrifying existence or the Peace Hotel in the past decades, so how could he not be interested?
Hearing that Lin Yuan was interested in the bank, he stayed and planned to visit the bank together.
"At least there is leucorrhea at home, so it would be rude for us to come to the door like this. Lao He, what kind of gifts did you give me when you came to the door for the first time?" Lin Yuan asked.
Lao He didn't expect that Lin Yuan, who almost wanted to break into the bank last night, would be so sensible at this moment and actually think about giving gifts?
But since everyone has mentioned it, Lao He will not refuse.
“If Boss Lin is serious, just give one or two supernatural items as gifts.”
Lin Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lao He stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!
Bang! Bang!
Three long and two short?
This knock on the door is a bit ominous.
However, Luo Qian did not express any objection. This must be the rule of this era, so Lin Yuan did not express any objection.
Squeak!
A piece of the wooden door panel was removed, but the light from the ghost street could not enter. It was still dark inside. Only a brazier inside the house could be vaguely seen, burning paper.
The thick smoke surrounded the room, but it also did not flow out from the opened exit.
The dark bank seemed to form a small world, completely isolated from the outside world, but at the door, a figure was standing there quietly.
The dead eyes stared at Lao He calmly, his voice was low and hoarse, "You have already snatched her away, what are you doing here? Do you want to drive me out of the town?"
Old He He said in a deep voice: "It's not that you don't know what happened after her death. If you really want to leave it in the town, you would be irresponsible to everyone. When Lao Qian handed over the bank to you, we were all there. "Also..."
"When did the spiritualists start reminiscing about the past?" The man interrupted Lao He coldly.
Lao He's face also turned cold, "Since you don't want to listen, then I won't say anything. These two people, one is senior Luo Qianluo, and the other is Lin Yuan, the owner of Peace Hotel Boss Lin, they heard about your family and came here to express their condolences.”
The man said: "I remember I said that no one is welcome during these seven days, including you."
"Xiao Qian, you are so rude." Lao He said.
The man known as Xiao Qian sneered a few times and was about to close the door, but a hand suddenly stretched out and blocked the door panel.
At the same time, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark room.
It's still very dim, but I can see everything in the room clearly.
This is a pawnshop-style room from decades ago. In the small space outside the counter, there is a coffin, a dark coffin, and a wooden basin.
The paper was burning in the wooden basin. The flames were clearly burning, but it did not have much impact on the wooden basin.
Xiao Qian's body was also reflected. He was a strong man in his early thirties. His appearance could even be called handsome, but his face was ashen, and there were even faint corpse spots.
Seeing this scene, Lao He's expression changed completely, and he said sternly: "Xiaoqian, do you know what you are doing?"
"Ha!"
Xiao Qian sneered and looked at Lin Yuan solemnly, "Boss Lin, right? I can let you in, but only for you. I just don't know if you have the courage."
"Okay. Mr. He, Mr. Luo, I will go in and talk to Xiaoqian first, thank you.”
Although he said “thank you”, his confidence and strength made it impossible for him to say no, and then Lin Yuan said. Walked into the bank.
Pop!
The door panel was removed and closed again.
Luo Qiandao: "It seems that there is a problem on your side. Don't tell me. This is one of the reasons why you invited me here."
"Senior Luo misunderstood. We can handle the small money matter." . It just so happens that Boss Lin may need some time. Let me take Senior Luo around. The last time Senior Luo came here was ten years ago. In the past ten years, there have been more shops in the town. There may be gadgets that Senior likes in them. Son."
"Okay, I'll trouble you."
In the bank, Lin Yuan had already walked to the brazier, looking at the dark coffin, and then at the tomb. "You can easily catch fire like this."
Xiao Qian stumbled, and his originally bitter and resentful expression instantly became a little funny.
Lin Yuandao: "Lao He and I are not the same person. If you can convince me, maybe I can help you do something."
"It's useless. Maybe you are strong, but here and Lao There are many bosses of He generation. If they join forces, even Luo Qian may not be able to leave the town." Xiao Qian said.
Are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about Luo Qian’s strength?
With Luo Qian's body in reality, Lin Yuan knew very well how terrifying the supernatural power controlled by Luo Qian was. Not to mention anything else, at least it would not be too difficult to turn Taiping Town into Taiping Tomb.
However, Lin Yuan did not argue, "Looking at you, there should be no one to help you when something happens."
puff!
It sounded like something had been stabbed with a knife.
Xiao Qian took a deep breath, "You are a restaurant owner and a businessman. You will not come over to help me redress my grievances for no reason. Tell me, what do you want?"
Lin Yuan did not speak. He just took out a piece of three-yuan ghost money from his arms and threw it away. The piece of ghost money slowly floated in front of Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian took the ghost money and did not dare to show any slightest care.
Because he has already noticed Lin Yuan's terror. This bank is his territory and is always shrouded in his supernatural influence and ghost realm.
Even if Lao He comes in, he will suffer a lot. But just now without realizing it, the boss named Lin Yuan actually completely invaded. Although it was just the ghost realm in the front hall that was suppressed, this does not mean that Lin Yuan did not completely replace his own strength, but it really Take yourself very seriously.
"Is this ghost money? No, no, this is not the ghost money I made, it seems..."
Xiao Qian frowned tightly, as if he had encountered A situation occurred that subverted his cognition, "I dare to ask Boss Lin, where did you get this ghost money?"
No wonder Xiaoqian reacted like this.
There will never be two identical ghosts in the world, nor will there be absolutely the same abilities. Only similar ghosts or abilities may appear.
Just like Li Qingzhi's ghost, after being dismembered, the supernatural abilities displayed by the ghost head and the headless ghost are different, and can even be said to be completely different.
But the more similar abilities are, the more likely they are to become puzzle pieces for each other.
If you can find your own puzzle and successfully control it, you can increase your strength and terror.
This is the understanding of the modern paranormal circle.
If Lin Yuan remembers correctly, the Republic of China period and the era that were most deeply and directly affected by the Ghost Controllers of the Republic of China should have followed the same path as the Ghost Controllers of the Republic of China, developing the same supernatural power into To the extreme, use the ghost's own rules to fix bugs and become an alien.
Like a spiritualist.
You need to die once and then be resurrected by forbidden means, and then use your identity as a "dead person" to use the ability of a spirit conjurer to continuously summon your own souls, making yourself an alien.
Xiao Qian’s behavior at this time seemed a little unusual.
"I received this ghost money in the hotel. It is a very special ghost money. It is also because of it that I came to Taiping Town to trace its source."
Lin Yuan did not lie. .
If it weren’t for the ghost money, he wouldn’t have opened a virtual game in Taiping Town, and he would also have created such a world with bugs.
Xiao Qian's frown deepened, "I am the only person in the town who can make ghost money, and the ghost money I made..."
He did not finish what he said, because that Involving his supernatural powers.
Lin Yuan was an uninvited guest here, and he actually invaded directly with the ghost domain. If he didn't feel that he was invincible, Xiaoqian would have taken action directly and made Lin Yuan into ghost money. How could he be like now, still with Lin Yuan? Standing together and chatting?
Lin Yuan glanced at Xiao Qian, and then turned his attention to the direction of the coffin and the coffin.
The coffin was probably made in a coffin shop. It was a black coffin, a coffin for ghosts to sleep in, but Xiao Qian’s wife should have been sent away.
The spiritual tablet is also somewhat special. It looks like an ordinary spiritual tablet, but it always gives people an extremely cold feeling.
The top is very simple, with only a few words written:
[The spiritual position of the ** of the Xianshi* clan]
The font is blood red, and it looks like it was written in blood, and the position of the first and last names has been blurred, and it seems to be the pigment for engraving. After solving the problem, it became a mess.
On the whole, it doesn’t look unusual, but for a husband who loves his wife, it is very unreasonable for his wife’s spiritual status to become like this without sorting it out.
"Boss Lin seems to be very curious about my wife?"
At some point, Xiao Qian stood behind Lin Yuan, and the room invaded by Lin Yuan was also quietly invaded. Ground suppression.
The thick darkness kept coming from the direction of the inner hall, seeming to swallow everything.
As this darkness gushes out, Xiao Qian's originally normal face gradually turns cold and strange, as if he is changing from a human to... a ghost.
Darkness continued to erode and soon flooded the lobby, but in Lin Yuan's eyes, nothing seemed to have changed.
His perception seems to be blocked.
Darkness began to erode Lin Yuan, starting from his feet and constantly crawling up his body... No, it was not darkness, but rather like balls of extremely rich ink, still exuding a strange feeling breath.
Lin Yuan moved his nose and said in surprise: "What a special fragrance. Is this your supernatural power, ink? It has something to do with the production of ghost money. So what kind of ghost do you control? It is a money printing machine. Is there a chance?”
“You can still speak so easily. It seems that you are really strong. But it’s a pity that it’s too late. You can only be me as you are covered in ink. The materials turned into my paper money." Xiao Qian looked numb, like a fierce ghost.
While he was speaking, the ink under his feet had crawled all over Lin Yuan's body, covering him entirely.
The ink seemed to be alive, forming a layer of ink-like pulp outside his body, which was still squirming.
As if they had power, they rushed toward the back room with Lin Yuan.
The small money did not leave. He still held the three-yuan ghost money that Lin Yuan gave him in his hand. "They are exactly the same on the outside, but the power is a little different. Does it have something to do with you?"
He glanced at it The black coffin turned and walked into the backyard.
Although this place has long been turned into a ghost street, it was originally an ordinary village and town, and the houses built were all very typical.
The front is a shop facing the outside, the back is a small courtyard, and then there are three side-by-side rooms, probably bedrooms and kitchens.
The ground and walls of the courtyard were all pitch black, or the color of ink, which looked very depressing and strange.
There are six half-person-high clay pots against the wall.
After Lin Yuan was brought in by Ink, he was put into one of the clay pots. Everything went smoothly and he did not encounter much resistance.
“The people Lao He and the others brought here seemed to take them seriously, and they were able to invade the store. How come they were imprisoned so smoothly?”
Xiao Qian was obviously a little confused, he He looked at the ghost money in his hand and said, "It seems that the descendants of which family they belong to, don't care, once you get in here, don't even think about getting out again. But this piece of paper money has her breath on it, I can't feel it wrong. Those few The old guy snatched her away and buried her somewhere. Maybe I can use it to find her... No, no, if I go out now, those old guys will definitely stop me. I have to wait until night. ..."
After having a plan, Xiao Qian was ready to go back to the room.
But he stopped as soon as he entered the room, because a person who shouldn't have appeared in the room - Lin Yuan!
"You really rely on a money printing machine to make ghost money. This should be an old thing from the Republic of China, right?"
Lin Yuanzheng was standing at a wooden table .
There was an old money printing machine on the wooden table, and there was still the fragrance of ink on it. Lin Yuan fiddled with it for a while, then looked at the small coins at the door.
Xiao Qian's eyes were solemn, "How did you escape? Or did you not restrain you at all just now?"
"This is not important. I originally wanted to play this game with you, but you don't want to make ghost money. Instead, you have to wait until night to find your dead wife. This is not okay. I am very interested in making ghost money. "If you show me a lesson, maybe I'll be happy and I can help you find your wife." Lin Yuan was very honest.
This world is fake.
This memory is deduced.
However, if it can really be justified, then Lin Yuan can also try to make a Republic of China money printing machine that can print ghost money.
After all, the wishing ghost is in his shop.
A simple wish-granting ghost is quite scary, but it is estimated that it will be quite difficult to make a wish-making machine that can produce ghost money.
But Lin Yuan can raise the stakes. The power of the White Mist Ghost Realm is constantly expanding, and there is no place to use it. It can be used just right.
"Ha! Your suggestion is very good, I will make it right away."
Xiao Qian nodded and walked towards the house, but he had just taken a step. , the whole person turned into a ball of ink and spread on the floor.
Lin Yuan frowned, "Sure enough, there is not enough memory support, and there are too many uncertainties in trying to get stuck. We cannot change the 'plot' too arbitrarily, otherwise the memory world will be ruined. Collapse, the gain outweighs the loss.”
At the same time, Xiao Qian had escaped from the ghost bank and met Lao He, "You brought back a robber!"
Faced with Xiao Qian's bad attitude, Lao He was not angry.
Speaking of it, these old people did act a little tough on the matter of a daughter-in-law with a small amount of money, and did not care too much about the feelings of the young people.
As an elder, do you still want to be angry with the young people on the same street?
However, "If Boss Lin really wants to steal your things, you shouldn't be able to escape now. Is there some misunderstanding?"
Although these words were somewhat hurtful, Xiao Qian was unable to refute.
Although he didn't use all his supernatural powers in the bank just now, even the ink couldn't trap Lin Yuan. Even if he went all out, the success rate might not be very high.
"Let me go in with you and have a look, so I can talk to Boss Lin and see if there is any misunderstanding."
"Okay."
No small money Refuse, today is the first day of his wife's life, he has made some arrangements, and now he has the ghost money handed to him by Lin Yuan. He has many things to complete in the bank.
However, when the two of them entered, they could not find any trace of Lin Yuan, so they had no choice but to give up.
At the same time, information trading outside Laojie continues.
As a "traveler", Boss Liu knew more about players like Cao Yang and knew exactly where he had "traveled" to, so he did not interfere with He Liansheng's inquiry.
He Liansheng also used a few questions to get some reasonable answers.
For example, Cao Yang's origin is a huge force called Headquarters with influence all over the country, and he is one of the top twelve people in this force.
After knowing the news, He Liansheng's tense heart relaxed slightly.
"It seems that your organization called the headquarters is not very good. The strongest person is just like you. No wonder the reputation is not good."
That is, Cao Yang is about to die now. Li Gui has revived, and his emotions have been seriously eroded, otherwise his expression would definitely be very rich.
"It's my turn. I want to know information about the Peace Hotel and the store manager."
He Liansheng said: "Okay."
Regarding the Peace Hotel and the "store manager", he had limited information, and the transaction was very cost-effective. However, Cao Yang was not disappointed. On the contrary, he was certain of one thing, that is:
The history of the Peace Hotel can at least be traced back. To more than forty years ago!
"You are about to wake up as a ghost. Leave here. Seeing that the transaction just went smoothly, this is my last advice to you. Otherwise, your body and your ghost will become A certain commodity.”
