Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 155
Chapter 155: Ghosts!
Zhou Ze did not say anything until he walked out of the old man’s room. He could only silently admire the old man’s natural fortune. Living together with dozens of dead souls, nothing happened. Not only was he not affected at all, but his luck was also good.
Such a destiny could not be envied.
Zhou Ze did not ask if those soldiers were willing to go to hell. Perhaps their obsession was because the old man was still alive, and the old man was willing to sacrifice them. Coupled with their former comrades, they were able to gather at the old man’s house. Every night, when the old man was asleep, they would drink wine and chat with each other.
It was a very comfortable and peaceful life, and it did not affect the people around him at all. As a ghost servant, he could totally let them be.
When the old man died of old age, his soul would probably join the ranks of his comrades. Then, everyone would go to hell together, and they would not be lonely on the road to hell.
It was just like how they used to travel around the world and fight wars. When they were together, they would no longer feel fear. They would just follow the red flag.
If Zhou Ze forcefully took away these military souls, the old man would also be greatly affected. He would almost completely cut off the old man’s original rhythm of life. Zhou Ze was really worried that something might happen to the old man because of this.
No matter what, the other party had helped him sincerely before. It would not be right for her to harm him again.
However, because of Zhou Ze’s interruption, the gathering in the old man’s room ended very quickly, and there was no sound from the neighboring room.
Perhaps, those soldiers knew very well that whether they could continue to stay here was only a matter of Zhou Ze’s thoughts.
After returning to the room, Doctor Lin helped Zhou Ze lie on the bed again. She still lay on her side and looked at Zhou Ze. There had been some twists and turns tonight. Zhou Ze could not sleep, and Doctor Lin did not sleep well.
Reaching out, he held her hair and gently stroked it. Zhou Ze really enjoyed this feeling.
It had nothing to do with family, love, or responsibility. As long as a normal man had a beautiful woman lying beside him, even if he could not do anything, he would feel happy.
“The experience over the past two days is very rich,” Doctor Lin said.
Zhou Ze nodded. For an ordinary person, it was already very difficult for them to accept the fact that their husband had been reincarnated. At the same time, they had experienced a series of supernatural events. Thankfully, Doctor Lin was very strong.
“Will I always see those things?” Doctor Lin asked.
“No, I’ll be fine in two days. When you get back, take some time off to rest.”
Dr. Lin nodded. She always obeyed.
“How have you been?”
“Pretty good,” Zhou Ze replied.
“That’s good.”
Doctor Lin leaned against Zhou Ze and slowly closed her eyes as if she had fallen asleep again.
Zhou Ze still could not fall asleep. He took out the two badges. The middle of the two badges had started to turn white, and there were obvious creases. This meant that they could at most accept another ‘master’.
Two documents were equivalent to two authorized personnel. In the Yang-Realm, those who could get authorized personnel could walk with their noses facing the sky. In the Yang-Realm, these two things were actually more in demand.
However, Zhou Ze had not thought of how to use these things. He had originally wanted to find two of the dozens of military souls to inherit this, but it seemed impossible.
It was not that Zhou Ze was obsessed with cleanliness, but it was purely because the conditions for inheriting the ghost identification were very harsh. One had to be a ghost with a physical body.
Even if a normal ghost could possess a ghost, it was not a real ‘reincarnation’. It did not meet the criteria.
The only ones who could inherit this were like him, Tang Shi, and Liang Chuan, these illegal immigrants. The purpose of this document was not to give you mana or power. In reality, it was only a symbolic function.
It could make your gray identity look even better, that was all.
It was just like how in ancient times, when bandits became powerful and accepted the Imperial Court’s recruitment, they could obtain an official position. Ordinary farmers did not have such treatment.
Because of this, the two documents were of little value.
It was extremely difficult to find a similar illegal immigrant. Tang Shi had once said that she had searched the Yang Realm for half a year before she found Liang Chuan and herself.
Currently, there were only three people.
Zhou Ze’s fingertips rubbed the certificate. Suddenly, he realized that under the stimulation of his fingernails, the certificate was emitting a blue smoke.
The smoke smelled nice and refreshing.
Then, Zhou Ze saw that the document seemed to be more tattered than before, and he immediately stopped doing this.
This was indeed too extravagant. It was even more extravagant than smoking the most expensive cigar.
Zhou Ze put down his certificate book and took out his phone. He planned to make it through tonight and get Doctor Lin to drive him back to Tong City’s bookstore tomorrow. Xu Qinglang and the rest should have settled the old daoist’s matter by now. They would probably have to burn another large sum of paper money.
Fortunately, it was not a problem for the old Daoist priest to not return.
The key was to find the monkey.
However, very soon, Zhou Ze heard the sound of something breaking from the wall. It sounded like something was climbing over the wall.
The sound grew louder, and there seemed to be a lot of things climbing over the wall. Gradually, the sound woke Doctor Lin up.
Doctor Lin’s sleep quality tonight was really worrying. Every time she fell asleep, she would be woken up.
Just like how people with yin-yang eyes usually had a difficult life, when they could sense things that normal people could not, it was indeed a very troubling thing.
Doctor Lin would probably stay in this state for another day or two. He would only return to normal after the ‘magnetic field’ around his body had dissipated. Furthermore, he had to be careful not to catch a cold, or he would easily fall sick.
“Is there a sound outside?” Doctor Lin asked Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze nodded.
Doctor Lin thought that it was the “noisy” person next door, but in reality, it was not. If there was anyone to blame, it could only be Zhou Ze’s cheap hands. He paid the price of damaging the ghost identification card to cause it to emit a fragrance. This fragrance not only made Zhou Ze feel that it was very nice, but it also attracted some lonely souls and wild ghosts nearby to instinctively approach him.
This was an achievement. Zhou Ze wanted to get up and go outside to sign a package.
However, at that moment, the old man came out from the room next door. He seemed to have gone to the toilet.
When one got older, the water pipe would easily rust, and it was common for it to leak.
This made Zhou Ze a little worried. Although there were only a few lonely souls and wild ghosts, and they could not cause any big trouble, the old man was old after all. If he was affected by something, the consequences would be severe.
If the old man had stayed in the room, with the protection of his comrades, there would have been nothing to worry about. However, now that he had walked out, there was a chance that something might have happened.
There was a big difference between a soldier’s soul and an ordinary soul. Their range of activity was really not big, and they were scrupulously abiding by their own ‘discipline’. The restrictions on them in this world were indeed stricter than other souls.
General Chen Yi had once written a poem that said, “Go to Spring Terrace to recruit old troops, and kill the King of Hell with a hundred thousand flags.” But in reality, as the maintenance organization of the Dark Department, it could tolerate wandering ghosts and small fights. However, if you wanted to team up to cause trouble, then sorry, the Dark Department was not to be trifled with.
Moreover, when Zhou Zezhi entered the courtyard, he did not sense where the army souls were. It was only when he entered the old man’s room and lifted the curtain that he saw that the room was filled with people. This meant that the army souls could only move around in this limited area.
No matter what, the ghost was summoned by him. He could not let the old man cause trouble for him.
“Help me up,” Zhou Ze said.
Doctor Lin helped Zhou Ze off the bed.
When the two reached the door, they heard the conversation outside.
There seemed to be a man and a woman.
“There are so many people in the left room. They look so scary,” the woman said.
“Yes, but they can’t come out. Don’t worry, I’m here,” the male ghost said.
“The room on the right is the same as ours. It’s also a man and a woman. The man seems to be injured,” the woman added.
Doctor Lin also heard the conversation and looked at Zhou Ze worriedly.
Zhou Ze was not worried anymore. He really hoped that the other party would rush straight towards him so that he would not have to run out again.
“No, that man is scarier than everyone in the room on the left. He gives me the creeps. Don’t mess with him.”
Doctor Lin looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.
Zhou Ze raised his head slightly.
Coupled with the way the man and woman were showing off in front of their girlfriend,
This pair of husband and wife ghosts were very cunning.
“I can’t go to the left, and I can’t go to the right either. Then where did that fragrance come from? Only an old man is in the toilet. Perhaps he’s there,” the woman mumbled.
“We can only try our luck at his place. This courtyard house is too evil. It’s even more evil than our grave.”
The male and female ghosts seemed to have come to a consensus to attack the old man.
Actually, Zhou Ze had underestimated the attraction of that fragrance to ghosts. This man and woman had obviously been ghosts for many years, and they were almost becoming spirits.
As the saying goes, a demon is a demon. This was not just an adjective. It was also a term. Any existence could become a demon after cultivating to a certain extent.
After drinking, the old man felt a little dizzy. He kept grabbing his pipe, but he could not hold it. He was very tired.
The two ghosts rushed into the toilet.
Just as Zhou Ze was about to walk out of the room with Doctor Lin’s help,
A man and a woman screamed in terror.
“There’s a ghost!”
“Ghost! Ghost!”
Then, under Zhou Ze’s gaze, the man and woman rushed out of the courtyard house and escaped.
Doctor Lin was in disbelief. In fact, he was a little afraid as he muttered,
“That old man is also a ghost?”
A ghost, walking on the road and bringing Zhou Ze and himself home? Accompany me to eat and play chess?
Zhou Ze shook his head and corrected her.
“They didn’t shout about ghosts.
It was expensive.
the price of a nobleman. ”
The nobles were here. Gods and ghosts retreated.
