Chapter 424 The ghost herder’s road to survival, before the theme park begins
“Children today are really bad-tempered. It seems that Zhang Xianguang’s teaching ability is indeed not good. He is already behind the times.”
Chen Qiaoyang narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled very kindly, but it gave people an extremely dangerous feeling.
Cao Yang took a step forward and stood in front of Xiong Wenwen. Xiong Wenwen also sensed the danger and did not rebel again. But even though he was hiding behind Cao Yang, he still stuck his head out and said: "Bah ! You are pretending to be a big-tailed wolf. Believe it or not, I will beat the shit out of you!”
“That’s enough, just say a few words!”
Cao Yang shouted lowly. He knew very well how terrifying Chen Qiaoyang was.
This guy who calls himself the Ghost Shepherd has quite a lot of supernatural files at the headquarters, and they were obtained in just a short period of time.
Ghost herders, herd ghosts!
For ordinary people, the more evil ghosts come, the more terrifying and dangerous they become. If they are not careful, they will trigger the killing pattern and die.
But what about the ghost herder?
Using blood as a guide, one can temporarily forcibly change the rules of killing. This method is already somewhat similar to that of a "store manager".
Of course, Chen Qiaoyang’s supernatural power is far from being comparable to that of the “store manager”.
If the other party wants to question it, they can try to change the killing patterns of ghosts or tall male corpses. I believe it will be very interesting.
But even so, the ghost herder Chen Qiaoyang is very scary and needs to be vigilant.
"Sure enough, it makes sense. Cao Yang, in fact, we have no conflict. You are here to attack the store manager, and I just want to find a shelter." Chen Qiaoyang said, "Just now I really wanted to win over this little brat, but I’ve given up now. I don’t want to deal with a bad mouth at any time.”
In fact, his idea is definitely not just to pull the cage.
But when he said this now, Cao Yang did not expose it and glared back at Xiong Wenwen who wanted to speak, "If the person you want to avoid is Zhang Xianguang, the headquarters can also provide you with shelter. The price paid is definitely less than that at the Peace Hotel."
"Hahahaha! For the sake of your friendliness, I won't tell the store manager this." Chen Qiaoyang turned around. He soon disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Cao Yang frowned, "Chen Qiaoyang has also lived for decades. Although his strength is not as good as Zhang Xianguang, he is definitely not a good person. The ghost shepherd...he now wants to join the peace Does the hotel really just want to avoid Zhang Xianguang's pursuit, or does he regard the store manager as a ghost and try to use his supernatural power to influence the store manager? "
If that is the case, then? But it’s so interesting.
Cao Yang was going to take this news back and let the big guys at the headquarters analyze it, and maybe there would be unexpected results.
Peace Hotel, so peaceful.
There are not many ups and downs. If they want to attack the "store manager", they don't have much chance. Only by causing chaos and letting the "store manager" focus most of his energy on other aspects can they Have a chance to catch a glimpse of that glimmer of victory!
No, no!
"How can I think so? Isn't peace a good thing? If this kind of peace can be brought to all parts of the country and the world is shrouded in the ghost world of the Peace Hotel, then where is the use? Worried about ghosts killing people?”
Cao Yang thought so, and wisps of white mist inadvertently passed through his bright eyes.
......
"Lao Lu, there are a new batch of paintings in the store. If you have time, you can go to the store to have a look and help with appreciation." When getting off the car, Lin Yuan said said suddenly.
Lu Zhiwen was a little surprised, but then he said with a wry smile: "Thank you, I will go if I have the chance."
Go?
Only ghosts would go.
If he really wanted to go to the Peace Hotel, he would have gone directly there when the devil in his body started to lose control.
With one or two ghosts, you can drive the ghost you control to a point where it is infinitely close to death. It is simple, convenient and fast. Isn’t it better than spending time on the ghost bus and fighting for your survival rate?
But there is an unchanging truth in the supernatural circle, that is, the more benefits you get, the greater the price you pay!
The transaction price of the Peace Hotel has also been found out.
Because there are two store managers, one overt and one undercover, two prices need to be paid during transactions - the price paid to the "store manager" on the surface is the transaction rules he puts on the surface. , using ghosts or supernatural items in exchange for his help.
Different numbers of ghosts and supernatural items can be exchanged for different times of his attacks and different strengths of his attacks.
As for the store manager in the dark, who is considered by most people to be "him", the price he has to pay is to be corroded by the ghost realm of white mist and unknowingly develop a liking for him. In the end, he was completely defeated, and even if he would not become his ghost slave, he would no longer be able to have the slightest thought that was unfavorable to him.
The headquarters arranged most of the captains to attack him. Even Wang Xiaoming had to join the Peace Hotel due to a series of reasons, but some people always need to stay awake.
This is also the path Lu Zhiwen chose.
"It's a pity. Ghost paintings have been controlled. If you want to study ghost paintings, He Yuelian will definitely not be able to do it. There are only those paintings hanging on the stairs in the Peace Hotel. Under the suppression of the store manager, there is no need to worry. Being attacked by ghost paintings is the best research object."
Lu Zhiwen sighed inwardly.
Due to the supernatural reasons of control, he also has some thoughts about ghost paintings, but now these thoughts can only be suppressed.
The group of people got off the car one after another. Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian walked on the left and right of Lin Yuan respectively.
The rest of the people, even Tong Qian and He Yin'er, who were also the four original cooks of the Peace Hotel, all retreated tacitly and did not go up to fight.
"Brother Yuan, you seem to be very optimistic about Lu Zhiwen. I rarely saw you inviting people to the store before." He Yuelian looked curious.
The control of ghost paintings allowed her to transform from an ordinary person into one of the top ghost controllers in the world.
But when she was with Lin Yuan, she still maintained the character of a young lady from a wealthy family who ran away from home to find a job. It was also because of this character in the past two days that Lin Yuan gradually let go of her time in Shuangqiao Town. The reaction when being "forced into marriage".
Because...
Everything is Zhang Xianguang’s fault!
"I can't say that I'm optimistic about it, how can I say it? I still remember when Lao Lu came to the store for the first time, I couldn't tell if it was the temperament of an artist, but he was able to work hard and pursue his own hobbies and ideals. It's really a blessing. Unfortunately, he is now overwhelmed by the burden of life. Later he joined the headquarters and became the captain, which shows that he is very capable, but even he is so powerful. In the end, I had to put down other jobs and choose to be a bus driver. This experience is enough to be called a 'legend'."
"Although I haven't met him many times, I still remember him. It’s still a good idea to judge people. On the surface, he looks very peaceful and easy to talk to, but in fact, he should be a rather stubborn guy.”
“In this situation, if I choose to support him, I don’t think he will fall out with me immediately. It’s better to let him bear the burden of life as he is now, but keep the seeds of pursuing art and the purest dream for him.”
"It can be regarded as... one good deed a day."
From a painter, an artist, to a captain at the headquarters, and then to a quasi-bus driver.
Such a rich experience, if someone could write it, it would definitely be a very good novel. The twists and turns of the experience can also bring tears to a lot of emotional people.
Although Lin Yuan didn't know what happened, he could make up a lot of stories on his own, and he suddenly felt a sigh of relief, as if he felt the same way.
But in fact it was not just him, but also He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, and even Fang Shiming, Tong Qian and He Yin'er who were a little further away, as well as Xiao An and Xiao Xi.
When they heard Lin Yuan’s words, which one of them was not deeply touched?
No matter how strong they are now, how many powerful ghosts they have controlled, and how they are protected by the "store manager", if they really have a choice, who would choose such a life now?
Before the evil ghost appeared, the busy and ordinary life had become a "pure land" in the hearts of most people.
"Okay, okay, everyone, cheer up. I just said a few words casually, do you take it seriously? Actually, I just think that Lao Lu will inherit Lao Qin's mantle in the future. I inherited that bus company, so I established a good relationship in advance, and maybe I can save a lot of bus fares."
"You ask, why did Lao Qin choose Lao Lu? Really. Is it because Lao Lu is talented in driving? Is it because the two of them actually have the same surname? "
From the sincere words to the frivolous ridicule.
The transition between the two states of "store manager" left everyone speechless for a moment, but there were still some people who cheered, but they didn't agree, but questioned.
"Brother Yuan, the world is not that dark, right? It's just a bus company, but it still wants to engage in these inside stories? And I don't think Lao Qin... is that kind of person."
Although Tong Qian's temperament is stubborn, But she's not stupid.
On the contrary, she was very smart and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Yuan's words, and quickly defended Mr. Qin.
After all.
That is the mascot of the headquarters, and it is also the final clue.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's just a joke. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Officer Wang is waiting over there."
After knowing the time of the team building at the Peace Hotel, , Wang Chaling arranged for people to monitor the entire scene.
There is nothing that can be done about this. Lin Yuan actually communicated with Wang Chaling in advance and told him the specific time and method of coming to Dadong City.
But the problem is that there is no so-called route number for the supernatural bus. Even if you know the time, you don’t know which platform it will stop at when it arrives at Dadong City.
Fortunately, although Wang Chaling is an ordinary person, he not only controls the entire Dadong City, but also has four terrifying ghosts, making him one of the top ghost controllers in the world.
The moment the supernatural bus appeared, Wang Chaling had already received the news.
When the white mist ghost realm began to disperse as the "store manager" got off the bus, he had already reached the bus stop through the ghost realm with the help of his mother.
With just a turn, he came from behind the stop sign to Lin Yuan and others, with a bright smile on his face: "Boss Lin, you are finally here!"
This team building at the Peace Hotel is related to the ownership of the Wang family's old residence. Wang Chaling has wanted to take back the old house for a long time, but unfortunately he was unwilling to take risks, let alone pay a high price.
Fortunately, the "store manager" came.
"Mr. Wang, the entire Dadong City is currently shrouded in white fog, but it has not affected communications. It is just that the images cannot be obtained through satellites. Everything on the ground cameras is normal."
Listen. Wang Chaling didn't show anything strange about the movement in the earphones, and was still communicating enthusiastically with Lin Yuan.
As a dream chaser who is starting a business and needs a lot of money, Lin Yuan has a good impression of anyone who can save money for himself.
Wang Chaling gave him a big discount, and he is a very potential consumer. His attitude is self-evident.
After some exchanges, Lin Yuan turned around and said: "Xiao He, come here and give me the money first."
He Yuelian is the lobby manager, and also plays the role of finance and cashier. The main thing is that one person can use multiple things and save money. Store costs.
Wang Chaling said quickly: "Don't be so anxious. It doesn't matter if you wait until it's over."
"In our store, we give money first and then eat. We are on guard against eating the Overlord meal. . Now we’re at Officer Wang’s place. It would be unreasonable not to come here like this. By the way, this is the commemorative coin in our store. Officer Wang will see if it can be used as settlement currency. If not, we will go there immediately. "Bring the beast here."
Lin Yuan took the stack of red commemorative coins handed over by He Yuelian, turned around and handed it to Wang Chaling.
Different from the ghost money circulated in Taiping Ancient Town, the commemorative coins of the Peace Hotel only have denominations of three yuan for the time being, and there are no denominations of four yuan and seven yuan.
According to the discount given by Wang Chaling before, it actually only costs nine yuan, which is three commemorative coins with a face value of three yuan.
Wang Chaling took these commemorative coins with a smile and said: "Of course it is possible. After all, I will have to go to the store to eat in the future, so I can use it... Boss Lin, you seem to have given me too much. Ah.”
There are more than three commemorative coins here, there are five!
There were two more coins than the price he proposed. In order to avoid being misunderstood by the "store manager" as a profiteer and causing a dimensionality reduction blow, although he was a little greedy, Wang Chaling still took out two commemorative coins and handed them over. Returned.
Lin Yuan did not answer, "I added these two extra coins. Officer Wang can give us such a big advantage, and I, Lin Yuan, am not a ungrateful person. Although I am a bit stingy, these commemorative coins can still give us something." Yes, Officer Wang will have the opportunity to come to the store in the future..."
In fact, Lin Yuan wanted to say a discount, but the discount he could give was only 95% off at most.
Compared to the less than 30% discount Wang Chaling gave him, it was hard to say, he also wanted to save face, right?
So Lin Yuan thought about it and finally chose to give two more commemorative coins, namely six yuan, to express his attitude.
"What a beast! The store manager (Brother Yuan) actually admits that he is stingy?"
After all, Wang Chaling had only been with Lin Yuan for a short time, and most of his information about Lin Yuan came from the headquarters' supernatural files, so he didn't have a deep impression.
But others are different.
He Yuelian, He Yin'er, Liu Qingqing and Tong Qian, these four were the first to follow the Peace Hotel and spent the longest time with Lin Yuan.
Then Xiaoan, Xiaoxi, Fang Shiming and Guo Fan.
Even Guo Fan, who was the last to join the Peace Hotel, has a very deep understanding of Lin Yuan's stinginess. Although he does not regard Lin Yuan as a man who can only get in and out, he is not far behind. .
But it's better now.
Lin Yuan is actually willing to take the initiative to give up profits?
This is simply unbelievable. Does the sun come out from the west?
Oh!
The fog is thick now, let alone the direction in which the sun comes out, you can’t even see the sun’s rays!
The location where the supernatural bus stops is not too far from the Wang family's old residence, as if this location was chosen deliberately.
Wang Chaling took Lin Yuan and his party and arrived within a few steps.
Looking at this old house that was obviously filled with chaos and mystery, Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, "I don't know what the projects inside are like. Officer Wang, you won't let us down, right?"
Wang Chaling smiled and said: "Of course not. Let me tell you something first. Let’s talk about some specific situations, that is, the theme setting of my Wang family’s ancestral home in this round of the game.”
Wang Chaling invited Lin Yuan to bring people over in the name of the theme park. If it is built, it will naturally have corresponding settings for Lin Yuan and others to guide and play.
Lin Yuan listened just for fun.
His positioning for this team building is very clear, which is to promote team cohesion and strengthen the team's recognition of the hotel. As for the rest?
It doesn’t matter whether it’s the theme park, the setting, or whether you can pass it or not, everything exists for a purpose.
So rather than listening to the settings, he was more observing the attitudes of other people.
To his relief, his four great cooks, the handyman Fang Shiming, the taxi driver Guo Fan, and the twin waiter sisters Xiao An and Xiao Xi all listened very carefully.
Only Gui Chao, Lao Fan, and tall male corpse, Li Qingzhi, had indifferent faces, as if they were indifferent to this.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan is already used to it. All he needs to do is be on guard against the ghosts and Lao Fan and don't look for opportunities to take Fang Shiming to a corner to do bad things.
“In the setting, there is a group of guys who have undergone biological modification technology and mastered certain special abilities. They took their domesticated beasts and entrenched themselves in this old house and occupied my old house. . Your purpose is to defeat these guys who are occupying the magpie's nest, and return the main house to me. Only then can the mission be considered completed."
Wang Chaling is in this round of the game. While carrying the private goods, he paid attention to Lin Yuan's expression.
Fortunately, Lin Yuan did not object to this, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "In addition to the theme setting, this main house also uses two front-ends, space and time. Technology. Among them, space technology is..."
"Needless to say, it will affect our interest in exploration." Lin Yuan interrupted Wang Chaling.
Wang Chaling didn’t want to say anything, but in order to prevent the situation in the main house from being considered unreasonable by him and harmonized, he had to say what he needed to say, lest he regret it in the end.
"Boss Lin, these are just some ordinary settings. It is a grand framework and will not affect the completion of the strategy. The main reason is that these two technologies are too advanced. If you don’t have some understanding, it will be easy. You won't be able to figure out what's going on."
"So that's it, you're not treating us as scientific guinea pigs, are you?" Lin Yuan was a little more suspicious.
Wang Chaling said quickly: "Boss Lin, please rest assured. I am not working in a private company, but I have a formal position at the headquarters and am under official jurisdiction."
After saying this, Tong Qian rolled her eyes, while Guo Fan curled his lips.
In the headquarters, who doesn’t know that Wang Chaling doesn’t pay much attention to the headquarters? Even if he became the captain, he basically never went to the headquarters to participate in any meetings.
Compared to Ye Zhen, such a guy, in addition to being more low-key, has a worse attitude towards the headquarters.
How did this kid have the nerve to say that?
However, the official identity of the headquarters is still relatively credible among Lin Yuan, so he did not stop Wang Chaling and continued to listen carefully.
"The first is space technology. This technology is mainly used on the third floor. Through this technology, a long corridor that is not part of reality is created, which is barely a small space."
"Then there is In terms of time technology, this technology is used throughout the main house, and the standard is the bell."
Wang Chaling stopped.
At this time, a burst of bells came from the Wang family's ancestral house. Even if you were standing at the iron gate outside the courtyard of the ancestral house, you could still hear it clearly.
“Using the bell as the standard, every time the bell rings, there will be two effects. One effect is that time is erased for half an hour, and it returns to half an hour ago. During this half hour Everything that happened will be reset. Another effect is to fast forward half an hour, and there will be no special effects."
"If you want to confirm the time, you need to use this pocket watch prop."
Wang Chaling said, took out a pocket watch from his arms and handed it to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan took it and glanced at it, then handed it to... He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing stretched out their hands at the same time, looking at Lin Yuan eagerly.
Lin Yuan: "..."
"Brother Yuan, give it to me first."
He Yin'er stepped forward to take the pocket watch, and then stood aside without looking at He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing.
Lin Yuan secretly gave a thumbs up, and then extended his hand to Wang Chaling, which made Wang Chaling confused, "Boss Lin, what are you doing?"
"Of course We need a pocket watch. You see, there are so many of us, and we may have to move separately later. How can one pocket watch be enough? At least one for each person."
Wang Chaling smiled bitterly: "But, that's all I have. A pocket watch."
"How is it possible? Why don't you look for it again?" Lin Yuan asked, "This kind of prop is not particularly precious, so you can't just make one, right?" >
Wang Chaling just wanted to retort a few words to prove the importance of this pocket watch, but when he subconsciously touched his arms, he found that there were many hard objects there, which felt like pocket watches one after another.
Wang Chaling: "..."
