Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 119
Chapter 119: The Greatest Success!
For a long time, Zhou Ze had never seen Bai Yingying fight. Bai Yingying’s daily job was actually to clean the house and be a salesperson, eat chicken, and sleep with others.
However, Zhou Ze had never forgotten the first time he and Xu Qinglang faced the awakening of the white oriole.
Why was Bai Yingying so obedient?
It was because he had once interfered so much.
However, this did not mean that she had really become a little quail. For example, when Zhou Ze saw Bai Yingying playing the game last time, she was not a weak girl.
Zombies were, after all, zombies. Some of the fierceness that had been imprinted deep in their bones would not be erased. Just like what Zhou Ze would do after “drinking and cutting off parts”, he actually did not have much consciousness.
If zombies were really obedient and docile babies, Madam Bai would not have specially instructed Zhou Ze to burn her body with bamboo during the next Winter Clothes Day.
The old man was called “Corpse Charm” by the little loli. Zhou Ze did not know what the word meant, but he could roughly guess that it was not even as good as a real zombie.
At the very least, Bai Yingying would not have her fingers suddenly snap when she lifted a plastic bag, and she would not have disgusting acid all over her body. If Bai Yingying was the same, Zhou Ze would rather continue sleeping in the freezer than let her sleep with him.
In fact, when the Winter Clothing Festival arrived, Zhou Ze would burn the whiteingale without hesitation.
Therefore, this was a society that cared about appearances after all. Many people who were injured in the face competition would say “innermost is the most important” unwillingly.
But in reality, even if you died, whether or not you had the looks was also very important.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rumbling sounds came from the kitchen.
The floor cracked.
The wall caved in.
The battle between the two corpses was extremely intense, and the commotion caused by it was not small, but it could be seen that Bai Yingying had the upper hand, and she still had some strength left.
Moreover, the old man had already been severely injured by the loli once.
Boom!
With a loud sound, Bai Yingying threw the old man to the ground, and juice splattered everywhere.
The old man’s body was badly damaged. He looked like a skeleton water soldier that often appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean. Only a few pieces of flesh remained on his body.
“Pa pa pa pa pa!!!!!”
The old Daoist priest who had been watching outside the entrance finally walked in, clapping and cheering for Bai Yingying. “Yingying, you are the fattest.”
“Shasha…”
Dragging the old man’s body, Bai Yingying walked out of the kitchen. The old man’s sliding tiles left several green marks.
But he was not dead, really not dead.
Ignoring everything else, just looking at his vitality was already terrifying enough.
And Bai Yingying was like a cute little puppy.
Zhou Ze gave the order.
She rushed out, pounced on her prey, and dragged her prey to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze squatted down in front of the old man. He looked at the old man, who was also looking at him.
“You… You’re also a ghost servant…”
Zhou Ze nodded.
“Blind fool…”
The old man spat at Zhou Ze. If not for the fact that there was no flesh on his chin, he might have spat out two mouthfuls of thick phlegm.
“I’ve always been curious about one thing. When I was at the hospital that day, were you watching from the side?”
“I’m not here,” the old man replied. “So… the people in the hospital… were knocked out by you?”
Zhou Ze did not answer.
“Those people… are dregs…” the old man repeated.
Zhou Ze agreed.
“Scumbags deserve to be killed and eaten!” the old man said stubbornly. “God kept me alive… He wanted me to… clean them up.”
“What about him?” Zhou Ze pointed at the unconscious Wang Ke.
The old man hesitated. After being beaten up by Bai Yingying, his anger had lessened.
So, when you’re in a bad mood, you can go to the pool hall or the dance hall. You can pop your nose at the group of people who have tattoos on their bodies or look like they’re hooligans, and you’ll feel better.
“I don’t know…” the old man replied.
Under such circumstances, Wang Ke was still able to calmly explain that he was still describing himself when facing the threat of his own life. In reality, it was very telling.
Either this guy had already given up on life and death and was not afraid of death, or he had a clear conscience. Even if he died, he could die, but he could not blame me for it.
“But you still intend to kill him. Cook him and eat him. You must be addicted to eating humans,” Zhou Ze said with a smile.
The old man stopped talking.
“You said that the Heavens did not let you die, but for some reason, you became like this, neither human nor ghost. It is the will of the Heavens.
“I admit that even I want those scumbags in that hospital to report to hell earlier.
But in the end, you had already gotten used to it. You were slowly starting to not care whether the person you killed was right or wrong, because you were already addicted to this feeling.
“I once heard the story of a foreign prosecutor. He arrested some corrupt officials who broke the law a few years ago and became famous. Later on, in order to maintain this feeling, he used illegal means and even deliberately framed some high-ranking officials to achieve his reputation. He said it like you.”
Zhou Ze reached out and gently patted the old man’s face. Then, he regretted his actions and wiped his hands on the old Daoist’s pants.
“…”
“When you look into the abyss, the abyss is also looking at you.
But you haven’t realized it yet. ”
Zhou Ze stood up slowly. “Alright, you must be tired from all the talking. It’s time for you to leave.”
“I’m not convinced… My family and I… suffered… and persecuted… Why is there no one… No one cares… My family and I…”
Zhou Ze made a gesture to interrupt and shook his head.
“I can guess that your story must have been very sad and sad. You must have been tortured by that hospital before. When the story was told, it would be sad.
But pity and suffering do not justify violence.
Because in this world, there were many pitiful people, and there were also many who had suffered.
The vast majority of people were trying to overcome their suffering and face their new lives with enthusiasm.
Even if someone gave up because of this, it was only his own business. He did not harm others, and he was only suffering from grief.
So, what’s so special about you?
This is not a reason, it will never be. ”
The old man remained silent.
“So, one of the shows I hate is when reporters go interview murderers. On the show, they’re always repentant, always accusing themselves of how miserable their old lives were and how pathetic they were.
Furthermore, the jailers and reporters would contact the victims’ families to ask them to forgive the criminals so that they could be better transformed and become human again.
How wonderful?
How touching?
They even had to remove the right to hate the victims’ family members.
“Unfortunately, this program has always been quite popular. After all, there are many people who like to shit on the moral high ground.”
After muttering to himself for a while, Zhou Ze looked at the old Daoist priest again. “I’ve said so much, so I need to collect more money. Nowadays, a more advanced funeral home also has a psychological massage service. This can be considered an additional service. After you go down, give more paper money, understand?”
The old man slowly closed his eyes and sighed.
“You still have a soul, right? Or something like the Awareness Group. After all, you’re not a real zombie. Now, come out of your body, and I’ll send you to hell.”
The old man lowered his hands. It seemed like he had accepted his fate. Zhou Ze did not know if he was enlightened or not, and he did not care.
However…
The next moment…
The old man’s body suddenly jerked, and his neck that was almost broken was lifted. He opened his fangs and bit at Zhou Ze’s body!
Pu!
Zhou Ze did not move, but his nails pierced into the old man’s body. The black Qi surrounding the nails started to wreak havoc in the old man’s body. This was a torture that surpassed the norm, and it even exceeded the blow that Bai Yingying had dealt to the old man before.
Before the old man could even bite Zhou Ze, he started to wail. He was in great pain and agony. He was also praying for Zhou Ze to remove his nails.
However, Zhou Ze did not move. He calmly watched the old man suffer in front of him.
Obviously, Zhou Ze had been talking nonsense for so long, and the psychological massage was still useless.
This was enough to show that the show that explored the pity and sunshine in a murderer’s heart was useless. Many people had the urge to hate, but normally, they would not kill innocent people in the name of impulse and anger. Once they did that, they would no longer be human, but beasts.
“Actually, I don’t hate you as much as I thought,” Zhou Ze said calmly. “But you can’t control yourself anymore. You’re not a knight who slays demons after all. In fact, you’ve become a demon waiting to be killed by a knight.”
Under the pressure of Zhou Ze’s nails, a black ball of light drifted out from the old man’s body.
Zhou Ze opened the Door to Hell.
He reached out to grab the ball of light and threw it inside.
Zhou Ze did not disperse the old man’s soul and even sent him to hell, leaving him a chance. It was not because he could not bear to part with his achievement points, but because when he was at the entrance of the hospital, he had actually thought of using someone else to do his dirty work.
However, Zhou Ze still reached out his hand out of habit and took out his notebook. Then, his eyes widened!
F*ck!
The results were: 50%!
In other words, the old man’s achievement was comparable to the sum of all the ghosts that he had sent down!
Zhou Ze was a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have been in a hurry to send him down. He should have asked if he had any other kindred spirits and if they were hidden in this city.
The little loli was still kneeling on the ground. When she saw Zhou Ze take out a small notebook, her face was filled with shock.
The thing that shocked him was not just the ID itself, but what it represented!
She suddenly remembered what the faceless woman had told her at the ghost shop. In her eyes, the prey they saw was not as important as the one in Tong City!
At this moment, Wang Ke’s wife suddenly walked over with a knife, fork, and plate. She squatted down by the old man’s broken body, used a knife to cut off the meat, and placed it on the plate. After that, she inserted the fork into the meat and prepared to send it into her mouth.
The old Daoist reacted quickly and stopped her. She was still struggling and shouting,
“Let me eat, let me eat, let me eat…”
Zhou Ze walked over to the little loli’s side, and then he gazed at the little loli that was kneeling on the ground before he glanced at Wang Ke’s wife, and his eyes revealed slight understanding.
He asked,
“Is your mom sick?”
