Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 151
Chapter 151: Peer Assault
The Man in the driver’s seat looked exactly like Zhou Ze, but Dr. Lin knew that the real Zhou Ze was getting drinks from the trunk.
Coupled with what Zhou Ze had said to her earlier, she knew that danger could happen at any time, but now, it had actually happened.
The man was holding a notebook that Zhou Ze had held in his hand before. She was playing with it as if she was very interested in the notebook, but he did not open it. Instead, he kept flipping it in his hand.
However, he had looked at Doctor Lin more times than he had looked at the notebook. Clearly, in his opinion, doctor Lin was more important than the notebook.
“Ha.”
The man chuckled and leaned back slightly.
Then, a wisp of smoke floated out of his mouth, carrying a strong hallucinogenic effect. Doctor Lin wanted to call Zhou ze behind him to remind him, but he lost consciousness in an instant.
Everything happened too quickly, and it did not give her any time to think and react. She was just an ordinary person, not some special forces soldier or Queen.
The man tidied up his clothes calmly, pushed open the car door, and walked out.
The moment he got out of the car, he turned into doctor Lin again. His clothes and temperament were exactly the same, and no one could find a single flaw in him.
Even the blush on his cheeks that had not completely faded was still there.
This was enough to show that he was an absolute perfectionist, a person who nitpicked the details.
Unlike the Faceless Woman, his transformation was more like an art that sought perfection, while the faceless woman was a simple and crude variation.
He walked to the back and saw Zhou Ze, who had just closed the trunk and was holding a drink in his hand.
“What’s Wrong?”Zhou ze asked.
“I’m a little scared,”he said. His voice was exactly the same as doctor Lin’s and very gentle.
“I’m here, don’t be scared.”
After he finished speaking,
zhou Ze put down the drink and directly hugged him in his arms.
“…”he.
Simple,
violent,
even he was a little surprised.
Sensing the temperature from another man’s body, his eyes flashed with anger and disgust, but he didn’t resist. Instead, in an instant..,
he opened his mouth.
“Puff!”
Before the green smoke could be spat out..,
a hand covered his lips and pressed down hard.
Zhou ze turned his face and looked at him with a half-smile.
He was a little confused. Of course, the most important thing was that the green smoke in his mouth could not be coughed out or swallowed. It was very uncomfortable for him.
“Bang!”
A knee landed heavily on his abdomen. He opened his mouth and let out a painful groan. His entire body began to curl up on the ground.
He was a little puzzled. He raised his head and looked at Zhou Ze.
“There’s a woman on the road to the Netherworld who likes to cosplay others. I’m sorry, I’ve been trained by her. So, consider yourself unlucky. Now, I have a special premonition that whoever wants to imitate the people around me to get close to me.”
Having been “Specially trained”by the Faceless Woman, Zhou Ze’s sensitivity in that area was almost completely aroused. It was as if it was an instinct.
Zhou ze stretched out his hand and grabbed his neck. His body was a little weak, and he still looked like Dr. Lin. He dragged him to the car door. Zhou Ze observed Dr. Lin’s condition and found that she was only asleep and was not seriously injured.
Being dragged by Zhou Ze like a dead dog, his body was twitching slightly.
Zhou Ze let go of his hand and he fell to the ground. Smoke was coming out of his body, and it was as if many otaku’s girlfriends were gasping for air. His entire body began to shrivel up.
In the distance,
a man and a woman walked over. The man was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He was wearing military camouflage, revealing his muscular arms. He looked very strong.
The woman was not tall. She had freckles all over her face. She was chewing gum in her mouth and blowing bubbles non-stop.
A wisp of green smoke slowly gathered behind the woman and a woman’s figure appeared. The woman wore a long green dress and stood behind the two of them. She was a little submissive, as if she was afraid that she would be discovered and cause the mission to fail.
However, she still lowered her head and whispered something to the tall man and the woman.
The tall man shook his neck and made a few crisp sounds. Then, he clenched his fist and didn’t say anything, but this could be considered a demonstration.
The freckled woman stretched out her hand and spat out the gum in her mouth. She casually stuck it on the muscular arm of the man beside her. She took a few steps forward, looked at Zhou Ze, and asked with a smile,
“Brother, you’ve crossed the line.”
Was it a local ghost messenger?
Zhou Ze was not very clear on how ghost messengers from one place should get along with ghost messengers from another place, nor was he clear on the tacit understanding between Ghost Messengers. Of the two ghost messengers he knew,.
One had been killed by her,
the other had been captured by her,
it seemed that Zhou Ze had always been so simple and violent when dealing with his peers.
The Little Loli had wanted to remind Zhou Ze to go to Salt City and that it was best to greet the local ghost guards, just like how the scabby-headed Monk had visited Zhou Ze first when he came to Tongcheng.
Sometimes, a greeting and a branch club could save a lot of trouble.
However, Zhou Ze had hung up the phone directly at that time, so the Little Loli’s reminder had not been leaked. Perhaps, even if the Little Loli had said it, Zhou Ze would not have left doctor Lin to go to a “Gathering”with his peers in Salt City.
Moreover, from Zhou Ze’s point of view, the other party had made a move first. From the previous stance, it was clear that she wanted the female ghost to mesmerize him and doctor Lin together.
“So What?”
Facing the other party’s questioning, Zhou Ze asked in return.
He was here to save people, to save Doctor Lin. At the same time, he had also saved a family. He was not here to steal and become a robber.
“Brother, your tone makes me think that you are the patrol inspector personally coming.”
The freckled woman smiled and reached out her hand to pry open her hair. At the same time, she said,
“The woman in the car stays. You can leave. We can not pursue the matter of you crossing the line without informing us.”
Zhou Ze looked at her,
he did not say anything.
At first, the freckled woman felt that Zhou Ze was considering,
but slowly..,
the freckled girl noticed that Zhou Ze’s gaze was as if he was looking at a retard.
It wasn’t Zhou Ze’s fault. He really didn’t know how to get along with his peers. He didn’t have much of an understanding of such tacit understanding and so-called forbidden territories.
Perhaps Zhou Ze’s greatest understanding of Ghost Messengers was the one who came back from Chengdu after being seriously injured,
one person killed dozens of ghost messengers in one night, and the ghost messengers fell to the ground like cabbages on the side of the road.
Therefore, it was very likely that Zhou Ze was also slanted at that time.
He always felt that his peers were just small shrimps, like the monsters in online games that gave experience.
“We have to keep this woman. She has something we want on her.”
After saying that,
the freckled girl took a step forward,
she took a step forward,
a gust of cold wind swept over, carrying with it a thick and heavy feeling like grease.
Zhou Ze felt his body suddenly become much heavier, and the air around him became extremely thin.
The tall man also walked over at this time and approached Zhou Ze.
Zhou ze stretched out his fingernails,
however, the other party was even faster. He directly grabbed Zhou Ze’s wrist and flipped his hand.
“Bang!”
Zhou Ze’s entire body was thrown onto the car door, and the car door caved in as a result.
The Little Loli had once given Zhou Ze a great deal of terror,
but now, the Little Loli had already been raised by him,
and now, the fear of being dominated by an experienced ghost seemed to strike again.
The tall man smiled at Zhou Ze and reached out to grab Zhou Ze’s neck.
“Just stay in your Tongcheng city. Why are you running around aimlessly? And you even brought her along. Are you taking a truckload of wealth to take a stroll in front of the Bandits’nest, deliberately looking for excitement?”
“She… What’s Wrong?”
Zhou Ze was very confused,
if the other party was coming for his notebook, it was very easy to understand. After all, that was the yin-yang book used by judges. Even if it was damaged, it was still the Yin-yang book.
However, the other party seemed to have the intention to return the favor. The person she valued was actually doctor Lin.
What was wrong with Doctor Lin?
“A person who has been blessed by a ghost envoy at the cost of sacrificing her own merit. What do you think she means?”
The freckled girl looked at Zhou Ze,
“A rookie is indeed a rookie. You can’t even understand this. Or perhaps, you can understand it, but you’ve been pretending not to see it. What kind of cliché human-ghost romance are you trying to play?
“You’re a ghost, a dead person, not a person from the mortal world. If you have too many connections with ordinary living people, you’ll end up harming her. This is my advice to you, Little Friend.”
The freckled girl took the chewing gum off the tall man’s arm, put it into her mouth, and chewed. Then, she opened the car door and looked at the unconscious Doctor Lin.
“I’m very curious. That ghost that was willing to give up so much just to give her her blessing should be of a higher level than us. How could she be so willing to give it up?”
Zhou Ze knew that the ghost that the freckled girl was talking about should be the ghost that had once possessed his sister-in-law. It was only natural that she treated doctor Lin well.
She was even so good that she had gone mad. It was all thanks to her that he was able to get to where he was today.
It seemed that Zhou Ze still remembered that when he killed her, her ghost evidence had almost collapsed. In the end, it did not stay. Did this mean that she had already been overdrawn?
Overdrawn on the blessing that the freckled girl had said?
“Don’t touch her.”
Zhou ze said.
The tall man reached out and grabbed Zhou Ze’s neck. Seeing that Zhou Ze was still warning and threatening him, he could not help but laugh.
“Of course we won’t kill her. We only want her blessings. We’re ghost hunters and law enforcers of the underworld. We definitely won’t kill a living person.
“Don’t worry. Although you’re a rookie, you’re still a colleague of ours. We’ll still give you some face. At most, she’ll fall seriously ill. She’ll be fine after a year or two.”
The tall man stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Ze’s face. He exclaimed in admiration,
“You’ve chosen your body well. You’re much more handsome than a big guy like me. I’m really envious of you.”
The freckled girl spat out the hot chewing gum in her mouth into her palm and then put it on doctor Lin’s forehead.
“Hey, be careful. Don’t suck out her soul. If you really kill someone, you and I will take the blame together,”the tall man reminded.
“Don’t worry. I can’t bear to kill such a beautiful woman.”
As she spoke,
the freckled girl deliberately glanced at her little friend beside her,
“After all, she is the female protagonist of this fellow’s ghost romance. What do you think…”
She was suddenly stunned,
because she saw the rookie being strangled by her companion,
the murderous aura on him,
was getting stronger and stronger..
