Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 184
Chapter 184: Prison Break!
Zhou Ze knew who Cao Ding was. After all, the Little Loli had become a monk halfway through her life. With the help of Wang Rui, Zhou Ze didn’t know where she was originally from or when she died. He was too lazy to ask, but he guessed that she wasn’t a local.
Bai Yingying, on the other hand, had been lying in a coffin for 200 years. Usually, when she chatted with Madam Bai, it was just the words of her best friend. When had she ever seen a best friend gathering spread patriotism?
Therefore, these two people were not considered to be true citizens of Tongcheng. However, Zhou Ze had lived two lifetimes and were both citizens of Tongcheng. Cao Ding could be considered to be very famous in Tongcheng. Of course, the most famous person in Tongcheng was still Zhang Jian, who had drafted the imperial decree of abdication of the Qing emperor, after counting, Cao Ding could also be ranked in the top ten.
As a hero who fought against the Pirates, his official position did not seem to be very high. Zhou ze only knew about this, but he had long forgotten about the details. He only knew that he was a figure in the middle of the Ming dynasty. At that time, the pirates were the most violent, and the coastal areas were flooded with pirates, the officials could not be used, and when they faced the pirates, they were easily defeated. It was only after Qi Jiguang and the other generals slowly got up that the pirates finally calmed down.
In other words, for a long period of time, the Ming Dynasty officials were basically at the level of the five scum of the battlefield. It was similar to the early days of the anti-japanese war. The Japanese army was very aggressive, and they were able to go against the current, it was often the most valuable because at that time, there was basically no hope of winning. Therefore, even though there were tens of millions of people, it was still possible.
Since the three Japanese ghosts hated Cao Ding, Zhou Ze could only boldly speculate that the identities of the three ghosts could not have been hidden for 500 years, right?
This speculation was very scary, and Zhou Ze could not help but think about it carefully.
Most importantly, his heroic soul had suppressed these bastards here for so many years. If he was the one who fell for the trap and let them out in the end, then he would be in big trouble, what if the three bastards who were released did something in Tongcheng or the nearby area? would these karma be blamed on him in the end?
Boss Zhou had never denied that he was a salted fish who was afraid of getting into trouble. Usually, it was better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble, however, he would not say that he had accidentally opened Pandora’s Box and returned to sleep.
“How do I Get Out?”
Zhou ze asked the most crucial question. Of course, Zhou Ze knew that the Japanese girl in front of him did not know how to get out either.
This place was like a special container. Zhou ze guessed that it was probably due to the special environment of the general’s Mountain. Cao Ding’s heroic soul had suppressed these pirates for 500 years. It was originally a first-class prison, however, the souls of the pirates were like the “Count of Monte Cristo”who started to play prison break.
They did not break out of the prison in one go. Instead, they continued to increase their freedom. It was like they were slowly moving out of the deepest and most heavily guarded cell, she was moving to the outermost and most loosely guarded cell of the prison.
It was like a compromise. That was why it was so different. In this mirror world, the souls of the dead could not interfere with the outside world. This was the last layer of restraint.
The Japanese girl shook her head. She had already put her head back on her neck.
She did not know how to get out. If she knew, she would have gone out to take revenge long ago. Why wait until now?
Zhou Ze was a little helpless. He took out his phone. The phone still had no signal. However, Zhou Ze thought of one thing. The three Japanese ghosts could call him here to play a ghost call. could he do the same?
He tried to call Xu Qinglang, but the phone kept ringing. He could actually get through.
Zhou Ze walked to the picture frame in surprise and looked at Xu Qinglang’s situation inside.
He kept calling, and there was a “Beep… BEEP…”sound coming from the other side. But in his eyes, Xu Qinglang had no intention of picking up the phone.
It was ringing, but there was no response from the other end?
Zhou Ze couldn’t hear anything from the other end, and he didn’t know if Xu Qinglang’s phone was ringing, but there was probably no response from the other end.
Zhou Ze tried to call Bai Yingying and the Little Loli again, but they both got through, but no one picked up.
..
When Zhou Ze tried to make the call, Bai Yingying, the Little Loli, and the others had already entered the hotel and knocked on the door.
Xu Qinglang opened the door. She looked a little haggard. She looked just like her husband who was sick in bed and her wife who was exhausted from taking care of him.
That was indeed the case. She still remembered that night when Xu Qinglang was still sleeping, the old priest cried out in pain and peed blood. Then, Zhou Ze lay on the ground unconscious. From that moment until now, Xu Qinglang had been like an ant on a hot pan, she had never let out a sigh of relief.
Bai Yingying immediately found the unconscious boss lying on the sofa. She immediately knelt down beside the sofa and reached out to hold the boss’s hand. She kept calling for the boss to wake up quickly and not to leave Yingying behind.
When the people around saw this scene, the corners of their mouths subconsciously twitched,
please..,
zhou Ze was not dead yet,
this was a little too exaggerated. He looked exactly like the concubine of a large ancient family. After crying, she would pack up and prepare to run away.
The Little Loli was much calmer. From her point of view, she seemed to value Zhou Ze’s current consciousness more. If he was unconscious consciously, then her life was still in his hands. If he was unconscious completely..,
then wouldn’t she be free if she killed him now?
Of course, the Little Loli only thought about it. Just like how a man walking on the road would subconsciously tilt his body when looking at a fat and skinny beauty on the side of the road, she didn’t dare to do or gamble.
Finally, the Little Loli walked to Zhou Ze’s side and checked on his condition.
The old priest started to recount in detail what had happened in the past few days.
“How is it?”Bai Yingying asked the Little Loli.
“His soul is still there.”The little loli frowned and said, “But it’s not complete.”
“Not complete?”
The Little Loli looked around. She seemed to be looking for something.
“Yes, it’s not complete, so he can’t wake up.”
The old priest heard this and said, “I seem to remember that there’s a villain on the god Ascension Board who seems to have a magic treasure that can take away a part of a person’s soul.”
The Little Loli ignored the old priest’s words and did not have the time to discuss the god Ascension Board with him. She began to walk around the room, especially after seeing the broken glass on the floor of the bathroom, her gaze turned more towards some reflective equipment.
In the end, the Little Loli even stood in front of the eight stallions picture frame in the living room and began to look into the mirror frame.
..
From Zhou Ze’s perspective, the Little Loli seemed to be looking at him, but she shouldn’t be able to see inside. This was enough to show that the Little Loli’s level and knowledge exceeded that of the others around her.
Lao Xu and Lao Dao had been trying to figure out how to wake up the unconscious Zhou Ze, but they had never thought that Zhou Ze was actually just trapped beside them.
“She can see you?”The Japanese girl at the side asked.
“Give her a certain amount of time. She should be able to find you.”Zhou Ze continued to look at his phone. Actually, the problem right now was very awkward. Even if he gave the Little Loli some more time, even if she could confirm that he was in the mirror..,
but how could he get out?
There must be a way out. Zhou ze believed that this was like facing a complicated game, but he had to have enough time to play it. At the very least, he had to experience countless failures and fumbles. However, Zhou Ze didn’t have that much time now.., after all, the three Japanese ghosts had stayed here for a year, and most importantly, they had probably played this game for 500 years!
Crack..
The sound of glass breaking came from outside the door.
The Japanese girl looked at Zhou Ze and said, “It’s time for dinner.”
“…”Zhou Ze.
“You’re not going?”The Japanese girl continued to ask.
“Are you hungry? Or, are you hungry?”Zhou ze asked.
“I just want to go out for a walk.”
Zhou Ze understood. To the people in the mirror, eating and dining was like the prisoners in a prison cell being released at a certain time for outdoor activities.
“I’m not interested…”
Before Zhou Ze could finish his sentence,
the sound of “Ka-cha… Ka-cha… Ka-cha…”suddenly came from outside.
Zhou ze immediately rushed to the door and opened it,
yes..,
originally, there should only be a glass corridor leading to the restaurant. However, the surrounding glass started to shatter one after another at this time. More and more souls began to wander around in a daze, they seemed to have lost their original restraints and were at a loss.
“What’s going on?”Zhou ze asked the Japanese girl behind him.
“I don’t know either.”The Japanese girl also revealed a shocked expression.
Zhou Ze rushed out of the door. The surrounding glass, which was near and far, continued to shatter. This gave Zhou Ze a very ominous feeling. He was actually also a prisoner imprisoned here, and the glass could be understood as the iron bars in the prison, the iron bars were now constantly shattering and disappearing. This was actually a very good thing for the prisoners, because they would regain their freedom.
However, it was different for Zhou Ze, because this meant that the restrictions and restrictions here were going to disappear. The things that had been suppressed were waiting for an opportunity to escape.
There were more and more departed souls here. Because of the special reason of General Mountain, the departed souls of the people who died nearby would subconsciously gather here. It was like a treasure basin.
And now, these people began to move forward in a daze, as if they were receiving some guidance.
Zhou Ze walked among the crowd. He was eager to know the source of all this.
Finally..,
zhou Ze saw a flag in front of him,
and under the flag..,
there were three sets of black samurai armor. The armor had many scars and broken places, but it revealed a special kind of awe.
The flag emitted a black light and enveloped a circle. Any soul that was attracted to it would be bound by black lines after entering this circle. The three sets of armor that were originally placed neatly and still,
inside,
began to swell slowly..
