Chapter 471 A transaction involving hundreds of ghosts, the past and the future
Cao Yanhua’s eyes swept over everyone present, especially He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing, who stayed for a while, feeling extremely emotional in his heart.
Both women are ordinary people.
Just because of good luck, he entered the Peace Hotel and became one of the four first cooks recognized by the "store manager" Lin Yuan, and he successively acquired extremely terrifying supernatural powers.
Liu Qingqing’s red cheongsam, red high-heeled shoes, and faceless puppet, although they are not ranked on the list of evil ghosts, they are not simple ghosts. When matched with each other, they are better than the captain at the headquarters. Not weak at all.
He Yuelian's ghost paintings are ranked number one in the world's most powerful ghost rankings, causing countless top ghost masters to fail.
Such a terrifying supernatural power, if it were controlled by a normal ghost controller, it would definitely be a narrow escape, but for Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian, it was just like play, making people envious and jealous.
Then he looked at He Yin'er, the captain of the headquarters.
The former captain Ginzi was passionate and upright. Although he had his own ideas, he would never lag behind others when dealing with supernatural events.
But what about now?
Although he is still responsible for Ohara City and has the responsibilities of captain, and is also dealing with supernatural incidents within his jurisdiction, more energy is devoted to the Peace Hotel.
The most important thing is not to cooperate with the work of the headquarters and not to work with Tong Qian to attack the Peace Hotel.
People’s hearts are scattered!
Cao Yanhua sighed in his heart, but did not waste too much time, "Everyone came here for the diary of Wang Chaling's father, Wang Lu. This morning, we have reviewed the new diary. I did some research, but Captain Yinzi, Miss He, and Miss Liu were not there at the time, so let’s take a look at it now.”
Afterwards, Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang distributed the printed information.
There is the content of the diary, and there is also the analysis of the content of the diary by the headquarters at that time. The former is relatively small, just the content of an A4 paper, but the latter part has more than a dozen pages, and the content is also dense.
The four chefs took it more seriously. After all, they also had Wang Lu's diary in their hands, and the contents in it were closely related to them.
But it was not any of the four people who spoke first. Instead, it was the youngest Xiong Wenwen. He trotted all the way to Wang Chaling, his eyes sparkling.
Wang Chaling looked wary and glanced at Cao Yang.
Cao Yang followed Xiong Wenwen closely. Seeing Wang Chaling's behavior, he didn't waste any time and directly lifted the back of Xiong Wenwen's neck. "This kid is convulsed. I'll take him to calm down!"
"Let me go! I didn't smoke! Xiao Cao, you are finished! When I find out the secret why Wang Lu is favored by Brother Yuan, Brother Yuan will definitely invite me to the store. I will choose the position. When the time comes, I will Let you clean the toilet..."
Bang!
The door of the conference room opens and closes. It is made of gold material and is filled with sound insulation foam, so no additional sound will come in at all.
Wang Chaling was silent for a long time, and said with a cold smile: "Captain Cao, you really feel sorry for the children."
"Xiong Wenwen is relatively young, and he didn't do much with him after becoming a ghost controller. People of the same age go to school together and have to bear the invasion of supernatural beings and the threat of death. It is our responsibility not to teach him well." Cao Yanhua sighed. Although he felt that Xiong Wenwen was a troublemaker, he still chose to support him.
Wang Chaling snorted coldly and did not continue.
"Don't talk about other topics, it's a waste of time. I heard that Minister Cao has reached an agreement with Wang Chaling and is willing to provide half of the funds to help him check the contents of the diary. Is this true? He Yuelian asked.
Cao Yanhua nodded, "Yes, that's true. If Miss He is willing to cooperate, we can use the same model."
The headquarters will provide half of the funds, and then obtain the contents of the diary , a very fair way of cooperation.
There are currently six diaries of Wang Lu. Wang Chaling, Tong Qian, He Yin'er, and He Yuelian each own one, while Liu Qingqing owns two.
Judging from the current situation.
The contents in the diary are all related to the "store manager" and the Peace Hotel. This is a very important information resource for the headquarters.
At least judging from Cao Yanhua's attitude, it is definitely worth spending a lot of money to obtain the information.
Liu Qingqing glanced at He Yuelian and said, "I don't doubt your determination, Minister Cao, but I'm just a little worried. Does the headquarters have enough resources?"
The thickness of the diary in the hands of several people Almost, the content of the diary above is only about ten entries. One diary costs thirty yuan, which is ten ghosts.
In addition to the diary that has been seen, there are still nine diaries in each notebook that need to be unlocked.
There are five books in total, that is, forty-five diaries, one thousand three hundred and fifty yuan, and four hundred and fifty ghosts.
Including the 240 yuan and 80 ghosts needed for the eight remaining diaries in Wang Chaling's hand, that is 530 ghosts.
Even if the headquarters is only responsible for half of the cost, that is still two hundred and sixty-five ghosts, which is not a small number.
This is a simple elementary school arithmetic problem, and the people present can easily calculate it mentally. Fortunately, Xiong Wenwen was taken away in advance, otherwise the average academic qualifications on the scene would be lowered.
Tong Qian immediately said: "I can unlock the contents of the diary at my own expense."
She has now mastered the Ghost Smiling Face and the Ghost Crying Face. The two ghosts conflict with each other and have reached a point of death. Her strength is the absolute captain. class.
And with the sense of protection of the White Mist Ghost Realm, her survivability has been maximized.
It can be said that she is now an absolute captain. If she wants to deal with some supernatural incidents and imprison some ghosts, as long as she is careful, it should not be difficult.
As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions.
Cao Yanhua, Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang, Wei Jing, Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, A Hong and others all looked at him with approval.
The current domestic situation is difficult. It is people like Tong Qian who are shouldering the burden one after another and working hard that can make people see hope in desperate situations.
But the eyes of He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing were full of ridicule.
"Tong Qian's words are her own. I have no problem with the conditions proposed by the headquarters. That's it for today. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."
He Yuelian has lost interest.
In today's diary, there is too little information about the "store manager" and is not of much use. Instead of wasting time by doing Tai Chi with the people at the headquarters here, it is better to deal with the affairs of the branch.
Today's Dahai City, after a period of recovery, is still far from the hustle and bustle of the past, but it still has the atmosphere of an international metropolis.
Only on the street where the Peace Hotel branch is located, it is very deserted, with almost no pedestrians to be seen.
Although the nearby shops are also brightly lit, it can be clearly seen that the people in these rooms are not ordinary clerks or customers, but more like staff with special purposes.
As the gray world descended, He Yuelian appeared on the street.
Her appearance also made everyone in these shops nervous. At the same time, news spread back to Ning'an Building and reached Awu's ears.
"If she has any needs, try your best to satisfy her, and don't take the initiative to disturb her."
Awu once again emphasized his attitude when facing He Yuelian, fearing that there would be newcomers who are eager to make contributions. After arriving at the other party, after all, now... Ye Zhen is gone again.
Yes, Ye Zhen disappeared again, but before leaving, he still left a message like "I'm going to challenge the masters and look for new money collections. If you need anything, come to me at the Peace Hotel." words.
In response to this, Awu really wanted to throw the table.
This is what he thought and did, but after throwing the table, he silently began to calculate the current amount of ghosts stored in the supernatural forum.
The last time I went to the Peace Hotel to inquire about Ye Zhen, I almost wiped out the supernatural forum. If I go again, will he have to sell himself?
No!
If I sell myself to the Peace Hotel, can I sell it?
Just when Ah Wu was doubting his life, He Yuelian had already returned to his store, "Zhang Xianguang, you are getting more and more annoying now, and you are still haunting me."
In the hall, Zhang Xianguang was sitting quietly, obviously waiting for He Yuelian to come back, "I have something to talk to you about. But there seem to be too many eyes around here, don't you mind?"
He Yuelian looked at it He glanced at them but did not chase them away. "Their existence will make my life more convenient. After all, I am still a living person and have my own needs. As long as they It doesn't matter if they don't bother me. It doesn't matter if ordinary people come to the store to eat."
Zhang Xianguang said in surprise: "You are in a good mood today, and you are so kind to me. "
"If you don't like it, I can change back to my previous appearance." He Yuelian snorted, her eyes becoming dangerous.
Zhang Xianguang smiled and dropped the topic, "You should have questions to ask me."
He Yuelian sneered and said, "You should have something to explain to me."
"It doesn't matter, it's just another way of saying it." Zhang Xianguang shook his head and said, "Liu Qingqing's situation is very special. Her body The remnant soul inside is very dangerous, and you are no match for her."
He Yuelian frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, even if you are completely different now. With the ghost painting under control and the store manager's supernatural protection, if Liu Qingqing is willing, she can use the remnant soul in her body to imprison you. As long as she finds a suitable reason afterwards, she can make you disappear completely. In front of the store manager." Zhang Xianguang explained.
He Yuelian's whole body and air pressure dropped, "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just stating a fact. After all, our goals are not conflicting." Zhang Xianguang seemed to be unaware of the increasingly dense paper dust around him, letting them continue to fly around him, and stared straight at him with his calm eyes. He Yuelian.
He Yuelian stared at Zhang Xianguang for a long time, "I need performance."
"If this is a prerequisite for cooperation, then it will naturally be as you wish." Zhang Xianguang said. He Yuelian sneered: "You said the same thing before, but I didn't realize how much benefit you brought to me, so is your promise really useful?"
"Don't worry, I'll let you see it."
Knowing that He Yuelian was doubting himself, Zhang Xianguang didn't waste any more words. Once he brought enough ghosts, He Yuelian would naturally trust him.
Nowadays, the supernatural revival is intensifying, which is why the ghost masters who come to the Peace Hotel have more and more spending power.
This era is absolute for ordinary people and ordinary ghost controllers, but for top ghost controllers like Zhang Xianguang who are truly at the forefront, it is also a gluttonous feast. .
If Zhang Xianguang had not thought about ending the supernatural era, he would have lived a very good life in the Peace Hotel.
Zhang Xianguang seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, but He Yuelian stopped him again, which made him a little confused, "Do you need me to leave anything to prove my strength?"
He Yuelian shook her head, "I want to ask you if you know what Brother Yuan was like in the past."
Zhang Xianguang's pupils shrank, "What do you mean?"
"We got some information. , it’s about things that happened decades ago, especially Brother Yuan’s interactions with some people in the past, which proves that. Ping Hotel and the store manager did not appear in the past year, but have appeared for at least seventy or eighty years. You were born in 1942, so if you have been active in the supernatural circle, you should know about him? "< br>
The information about the "store manager" in the past is something that many people want to know, but the purpose is different.
The headquarters wants to know about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager". The purpose is to understand his origin, understand his habits, and even find his flaws.
You can make friends with him through the information you find. If possible, it is best to control him and make him a weapon to suppress the supernatural era or even end the supernatural era.
He Yuelian and others want to understand the Peace Hotel and him, just so that they can live better, whether it is to become his closest person or to become a partner with the "store manager", It's all just for this purpose, not the so-called love and love.
This era is filled with despair under the resurgence of evil ghosts.
Even their bodies have been almost completely eroded by the supernatural, so they have no thoughts and qualifications to talk about love.
If you want to know the past of the Peace Hotel, there are two best ways. One is to ask people who have lived from the past to the present, and the other is to find paper records.
Previously, the headquarters had spent a lot of effort searching through county annals and other records across the country, just to find clues.
Unfortunately, Lin Yuan has not yet thought about embedding his own traces in history through county annals. That would not be a big deal for him to use the fake to refine the real and completely imprint his own traces in history. help.
That’s why I chose Wang Lu’s diary.
It can not only recover ghosts on a large scale, but also inlay its own existence into the traces of history. It is a choice that kills two birds with one stone.
It seems that there are not many people who have lived from the past to the present, but they are also quite a lot.
There is Mr. Qin at the headquarters, but he admits that there is no such thing as the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" in his memory. If it weren't for the various evidences proving his existence decades ago, Cao Yanhua and the others would probably suspect that this is a complete conspiracy. scam.
Then there are Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua who live in the Peace Hotel.
Those who have lived from the Republic of China to the present are a living modern history. Although it is only a part, it is of great help in understanding the past.
What a pity.
Meng Xiaodong left the Peace Hotel on time at six o'clock in the morning and returned on time at six o'clock in the evening. Even though he took the supernatural bus back and forth, he kept silent about the past of the Peace Hotel.
Zhang Bohua basically lives in the Peace Hotel and does not go out. He also refuses to talk about the past of the Peace Hotel, which makes people unable to start.
The only one left is Zhang Xianguang.
Zhang Xianguang and the headquarters are on hostile sides. Even if Zhang Xianguang is willing to give the information to the headquarters, the headquarters cannot believe its authenticity. It is even worried that Zhang Xianguang has given wrong information and misled the headquarters.
But He Yuelian had no such worries.
She and Zhang Xianguang are now barely allies, and they are still in the early stages of their alliance. If Zhang Xianguang lies to her, how can there be any basis for cooperation in the future?
Facing the inquiry, Zhang Xianguang fell into silence.
He seemed to be reminiscing about something, but when he spoke, instead of answering the question, he raised another doubt: "If you want to understand the past, you should have asked me earlier, and Don’t wait until now.”
He Yuelian pursed her lips and said, “Maybe it wasn’t before. Come to think of it, after all, I wasn't very sure about the credibility of your words before."
Zhang Xianguang nodded and did not continue the topic, "In my memory, there is indeed no Peace Hotel. There is no memory of him.”
“That’s right.”
He Yuelian thoughtfully said, "It seems that among your generation, only Wang Chaling's father, Wang Lu, is special."
The latest Wang Lu's diary has recorded that, except for being Except for Wang Lu, who he actively invited to the Peace Hotel, the others would not have relevant memories after leaving the Peace Hotel even if they entered the Peace Hotel.
Zhang Xianguang frowned and said, "I seem to have missed a lot of things. If possible, can you tell me about it?"
He Yuelian glanced at him and said nothing, but Zhang Xianguang understood. , said with a smile: "Information is valuable, I understand this. If you need it, I can tell you all the information I know. In the past seventy years, although I have been hiding in the dark, I have seen Sometimes there are more things and they are more real.”
This is about exchange!
He Yuelian thought for a while and finally decided to change, not only because she needed Zhang Xianguang's memory, but also because the information she could exchange was not the only one.
It can even be said that many people know about it.
It would be uneconomical for Zhang Xianguang to go to someone else's place, so she told the information about Wang Lu's diary, as well as the e-sports room and virtual games at the Peace Hotel.
After listening to this, Zhang Xianguang couldn't help but sigh: "I see. I didn't expect that he has such a powerful power. Can he send players back to the past through virtual games? But it seems that this kind of Methods cannot really affect the past or change the present, but if it were him, he would not do such useless work. And this method reminded me of a person. A guy who looks for a glimmer of hope in a hopeless future.
An old guy who is about to pass away.
He Yuelian asked: "Who?"
Zhang Xianguang glanced at her and did not answer. He just said: "It seems that what happened in 1999 can no longer be hidden. Someone violated it. Confidentiality agreement?"
He Yuelian: "? ?"
She seemed to really believe what Zhang Xianguang said, but she soon thought of something and said with a dark face: "Are you kidding me? Do you think I have never surfed the Internet or read the jokes on the Internet?"
"Just kidding, just kidding. But if there really was such an accident that year, maybe it was around that year. I need to confirm this, so I'll leave first. If I really' remember "Whatever happened, I'll tell you then."
Zhang Xianguang left, and He Yuelian snorted coldly. In a rather disgusting voice, he said: "What a pretentious guy. I hope you can really bring some useful news, otherwise..."
As night fell, even those who stayed at the Peace Hotel·Dahai Market None of the members of the paranormal forum near the branch noticed that there were more people nearby who shouldn't be here.
But most of them are ordinary people.
Even if it is discovered occasionally, there can be a suitable reason to evade it. After all, this is the most prosperous neighborhood in Dahai City. The fact that such a street is blocked will definitely arouse the curiosity of many people.
Such situations are not rare, but because they are reasonable enough, no one reports them.
It was not until late at night that this situation became less frequent, and these people who "accidentally" arrived nearby also made the same move after returning home.
That's when I took out a tape recorder and turned it on, and then there was a burst of soft piano playing.
As the sound of the piano continued to flow, these people fell asleep one after another and entered dreamland, but the sound of the piano became more and more strange and weird.
It was like the howling of a fierce ghost, which made people tremble with fear.
It's just that the piano sound gradually stopped after people fell asleep, as if the tape recorder had no power and automatically shut down.
Zhang Xianguang had left Dahai City at this time and came to the headquarters of Dajing City, which is also the courtyard where Mr. Qin lives.
The moment he entered, the originally dark courtyard suddenly became brightly lit.
Tap!
Tap!
Mr. Qin walked out of the room with a stooped back and a cane. His cloudy eyes looked at Zhang Xianguang, whose figure was reflected in the light, "This is the first time you have come to me."
" Ah, a scary guy has appeared, so I have to confirm something with you." Zhang Xianguang nodded and walked over very familiarly.
He even walked directly past Mr. Qin, entered the room and found a place to sit down.
Mr. Qin chuckled a few times and didn't care about Zhang Xianguang's rude behavior, but the other person here couldn't accept it.
When Zhang Xianguang picked up the water glass and was about to take a sip, a voice sounded from behind him, "As a former teacher of Shuangqiao Town Primary School, are you also so rude?"
