Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: The Identity of a Phantom Servant

Little Lolita tilted her head slightly. She felt that Zhou Ze was saying these ambiguous words on purpose. She did not answer. This question, no matter whether you answered ‘yes’ or ‘no’, was not good.

Moreover, the little loli believed that Zhou Ze could tell.

Yes, Zhou Ze could tell. All along, Zhou Ze had thought that Wang Ke had some sort of special hobby. Now that he thought about it, it wasn’t actually Wang Ke’s problem, but Wang Ke’s wife’s problem.

Wang Ke was a psychologist, and he was in charge of treating his wife’s illness. It was even to the extent that he had to cooperate with his wife when he was living at home.

He was acting and his purpose was to make his wife happy.

A man with a successful career had to pretend to be happy at home every day and eat meat and soup non-stop. He had to act like he was enjoying it.

His wife bought meat every day and watched her husband eat it.

To others, this might be a form of torture.

“Tie her up. Keep an eye on her and make sure nothing happens to her,” Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.

Bai Yingying nodded, and then she carried Wang Ke’s wife into the study.

The old Daoist priest didn’t need to notify him, and he picked up the unconscious Wang Ke and placed him on the sofa before helping him examine his injuries.

Zhou Ze did not call 120 immediately to send Wang Ke’s wife to the hospital and send her to the mental hospital. Regarding his wife’s matters, Wang Ke should have his own choice. There was no need for Zhou Ze to cause trouble and make decisions on his own. Furthermore, Zhou Ze could not be bothered to take on such troublesome matters.

Even though Wang Ke was unconscious and had injuries on his body, it wasn’t a huge problem. He would probably be able to wake up very soon. At that time, he would make the decision himself.

Furthermore, Zhou Ze still had something to settle at this juncture.

He picked up the little girl.

The loli was struggling.

In the past, the loli had asked Zhou Ze to carry her, but that was because she wanted to be on equal footing with Zhou Ze. At that time, she was reserved, restrained, and had absolute control.

Now, the tables had turned. This time, when Zhou Ze carried her, he treated her like a little girl next door.

He rubbed.

He squeezed.

‘Let’s see if you’re still mischievous.’

Zhou Ze carried the little girl upstairs.

The old Daoist priest stood at the staircase and watched Zhou Ze carry the little girl up.

There was a struggle on his face, and he was conflicted. He was considering whether he should stop his boss from doing something so inhumane.

What a beast.

She was still a child.

If Zhou Ze knew what the old daoist was thinking, he would probably open a few skylights on him mercilessly.

After placing the little loli on the bed, Zhou Ze took a step back and saw that the little loli had already fallen asleep when he carried her upstairs. She was now lying on the bed, snoring softly like a delicate piece of porcelain.

After a while, she rubbed her eyes and looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.

“Uncle, why are you at my house? You’re still in my room.”

So cute, so cute.

However, Zhou Ze was like an unromantic rough man. He raised the little loli up again and waved her around while saying,

“I don’t care if you’re acting or not, but it doesn’t matter to me. If you’re acting, then stop acting now. If you’re not acting, then wake up right now.

I have some things to discuss with you.

Don’t overestimate my patience. I’m not a weird uncle who likes to call young girls home to see goldfish. ”

Zhou Ze swayed back and forth. At first, the little loli was still crying and throwing a tantrum. She even started calling out “Daddy”. However, after a while, she calmed down. Her gaze was calm as she bit her tender red lips and said in a deep voice,

“Put me down.”

“Yo, you’re naughty!”

Pa!

Her palm landed on an unknown spot. The little loli widened her eyes and turned to look at Zhou Ze. She wished she could eat Zhou Ze alive!

How dare you hit this lord’s unspeakable position!

You still dare to say that you’re not a strange uncle?

“Oh, sorry.”

Zhou Ze released his hand, and the loli landed on the bed.

However, the little girl was still glaring at him. Zhou Ze was a little embarrassed and said,

“I was careless and did not notice you came back.”

“Zhou Ze, do you think you can do whatever you want now?”

The loli scolded.

Pa!

Another heavy blow landed on an unknown location.

The loli was in disbelief!

You said it was negligence, not intentional!

Zhou Ze caressed the palm that had just slapped the unknown spot and said,

“I didn’t do it on purpose this time.”

Zhou Ze leaned against the bed and sat down.

Dao:

“Don’t be like the main character in the movie. Even at death’s door, you still like to be stubborn because I’m not the villain in the movie. I don’t want to waste time talking to you.”

“You dare kill me?” the loli asked.

Pa!

Pa!

“Yes!”

Three slaps from an unknown position.

The loli’s body trembled three times.

Her red lips were about to bleed from her teeth.

“A while ago, someone said the same thing to me, but in the end, she died. So, don’t threaten me with this, because it’s useless.

“Even if you hide inside this shell, I have a way to force you out.”

“She was killed by you?” The little girl knew who Zhou Ze had killed. No, it was more accurate to say who the ghost was.

Since Zhou Ze had already killed one ghost, he did not mind killing another one.

“What do you want to ask? Tell me.”

The loli turned around and sat on the bed, hiding her unknown position.

Zhou Ze took out his identification card and held it in his hand. He asked, “How did the ghost soldier get on duty? Am I considered on duty now?”

“You have proof, and you have my key to Hell’s Door. You are a ghost.”

“Management is so lax?” Zhou Ze was surprised.

“Ghost difference is only the lowest level of Yin Si. The Yang Realm is so big. If even the lowest level ghost difference needs the higher-ups of Yin Si to choose and accept their fate one by one, then the higher levels of Yin Si don’t need to do anything else.

“Even ghost constables above the Ghost Faction do not need to be certified. They only need to obtain the corresponding qualifications. However, the inspection after that must be personally verified by Yin Si.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is. The working environment is so relaxed. Doesn’t that mean that whoever kills you will get the identity of a ghost?”

“Yin Si Order, Yellow Springs…”

Pa!

Zhou Ze flipped the little loli over and hit her again!

“Why?!” The little loli felt humiliated.

“Speak properly. Don’t shout slogans,” Zhou Ze reminded.

“Yin Si has its own rules. Killing ghosts is a big taboo!” the loli replied.

“It feels like nonsense. If I kill him, that person in Chengdu will definitely be killed as well. It’s fine if he’s fine, but why am I fine as well?”

As he spoke, Zhou Ze raised his hand and prepared to strike again.

Yeah.

Nice touch.

“That’s because you didn’t violate the rules. Furthermore, there was something wrong with the ghost soldier that you killed. Rather than calling her a ghost soldier, it would be more accurate to call her a wandering ghost!

“Okay, let me summarize it this way. I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but the meaning is that ghost soldiers are the lowest level of shrimps. No one will be responsible for their deaths or work injuries. Even if their identities are stolen, as long as the successors do not commit any crimes or even continue to work as ghost soldiers, the Yin Si will not care?

The loli nodded.

“Honestly, it’s so boring being a civil servant.”

Zhou Ze pursed his lips. Wasn’t this a blow to his motivation to work? He was still a temporary worker, but now that he knew that even if he became a full-time employee, there was no guarantee. He suddenly felt that the future of his job was very bleak.

In the Yang-Realm, everyone fought so hard to become a civil servant just for an iron rice bowl.

Once they reached the netherworld, they would no longer have an iron rice bowl. They would even have to rotate their rice bowls.

“Ghost mission is the best way for ghosts to enter the netherworld to seek identity. Furthermore, the identity of a ghost mission is not easy to obtain. Basically, it is impossible to inherit.”

The loli took another look at the document in Zhou Ze’s hand and pursed her lips.

“From ancient times until now, many mountains and rivers gods could not walk the path of the orthodox dynasties, but they also wanted to strive for progress. They willingly became ghosts and walked the path of hell. This is the reason.”

“Okay, one more thing.” Zhou Ze opened his palm. “Can you take this symbol back?”

The loli did not say a word.

“Answer me.”

Zhou Ze’s face slowly darkened.

The loli nodded.

Zhou Ze took a deep breath and slowly clenched his fists. He asked softly,

“How do I get it back?”

“I have my own way of taking back what I gave you.

“You seem to be avoiding this question.” Zhou Ze reached out to rub the little loli’s head and said, “Come, be good. Tell Uncle more about it in detail. This mark, this key that you mentioned, what method do I have to use to get it back?”

The loli looked at Zhou Ze and hesitated.

“Speak.”

Zhou Ze raised his voice. At the same time, his fingernails grew long, and the tips of his fingernails slid gently across the little loli’s face.

The loli whispered,

“I’ll take it back after I kill you.”

The expected answer.

Zhou Ze’s eyes darkened.

He was not angry.

He was not angry.

At least, he did not show it. He only said calmly,

“It means that the pancakes you drew for me, the promises you made to me, and the hopes you gave me for the future are all fake.

“You just need to go to Chengdu for business, so you want me to help you earn some income.”

When you return,

You planned to kill me, and I was also part of your plan.

Right? ”

The loli closed her eyes.

Time went back. That day, Zhou Ze was still watching Tang Shi and the old Taoist priest vent their anger for what had happened in Chengdu. He even did something that ordinary people would do in their excitement.

At that time, he could still calmly drink coffee!

If he had known that the person from Chengdu had lost, not only would his interests be damaged when the little loli returned, but it would also be a complete GG, would he still be able to calmly enjoy his coffee?

Perhaps he would go even crazier and buy fireworks worth tens of thousands of yuan.

Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Zhou Ze continued to look at the little loli calmly. He was not exasperated or hysterical. He only asked,

“Why don’t you return to hell? Is it because you’re too seriously injured that you can’t even return to hell? In fact, even the current you doesn’t dare to go to hell and walk through the Yellow Springs Road?”

The loli did not reply. Her silence was a form of tacit agreement.

Zhou Ze picked up his document and glanced at it. He seemed to be talking to himself as he said, “How much can I earn by sending a ghost worker back to hell?”

“I’m a ghost soldier. If you send me to hell, I won’t have any achievements,” the loli replied.

“Oh, sorry, I didn’t know.

I said,

Destroy a ghost’s document, torture her until she became a ghost, and send her back to hell.

Does that mean that we will have some results? “
