Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 192
Chapter 192: Wake Up!
Do you still remember the popcorn popping people that could be seen all over the streets and alleys more than ten years ago?
They brought their own small stove,
they warmed the charcoal fire,
they shook the handle,
the small stove constantly emitted a crisp “Ba la ba la”sound, and at the same time, a faint fragrance pervaded the air.
Zhou Ze was like this at the moment,
after the Little Loli put on the samurai armor for Zhou Ze, the armor and Zhou Ze’s body continuously emitted this “Crisp”sound, as if an egg had been smashed and poured into a pot of oil.
Bai Yingying stood at the side and watched with concern from time to time. She did not care at all about her gradually aging face, but only paid full attention to her boss.
Xu Qinglang lit a cigarette at the side and smoked alone.
It was just like an ordinary family. If someone was seriously ill, any family that valued relationships would throw everything they had at the stake and send them to the hospital for treatment. Regardless of whether the family would be ruined or not, at least the family had to be neat and tidy.
Xu Qinglang felt the same way now. No matter how badly they were injured and how much they had to pay, as long as everyone was fine in the end, it was still worth it.
“Girl, take your bead back. This penniless priest is fine now.”
The old priest had already slept for two hours and woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the bead was actually still undulating on his chest. He then looked at Bai Yingying, whose hair had turned white, and felt his heart ache.
What a good girl. Although she was a zombie, she was also very handsome. It was really a waste to become like this for an old man who was seventy years old.
It had to be said that although the old priest was a little muddle-headed and had done a lot of stealing, very few people knew that he had been donating money for his studies. He had donated more than a hundred students in the Great Liangshan area alone.
At that time, Zhou Ze had asked him why he was still alone and did not even have a house even though he had made a lot of money from live streaming.
Even though live streaming was a new industry in recent years, Zhou Ze felt that the old Daoist’s ability to fool people with his “Feudal superstition”in the past should be considerable, and he should not be doing so badly.
That was the reason.
The old Daoist had always felt that he was from a Taoist aristocratic family. Although he was not as good as his ancestors, he still had some skills and pursuits. However, in his own generation, he had completely become a nobody, he could only rely on these things to think that if he went underground in the future and met his ancestors, he would at least be able to say one thing so that he would not completely embarrass his ancestors.
Seeing that the old Taoist had woken up, Bai Yingying checked the old Taoist’s body condition. Seeing that his life was not in danger, she immediately took back her pearl. However, her skin was wrinkled and her hair was already white, it was rather similar to the “White-haired sorceress’s legend”, where she practiced nichang.
The Little Loli had been squatting by the side, observing Zhou Ze’s condition. Although Zhou Ze’s injuries were still worsening, it could be seen that the rate of deterioration was much, much slower than before.
Stretching out her tender hand, the Little Loli tried to pull open the armor to take a look, but to her astonishment, she discovered that Zhou Ze’s torn flesh and blood had actually fused together with the armor.
Was this good or bad,
the Little Loli was unsure,
she didn’t dare to reveal this discovery, afraid that it would agitate this female zombie who had already lost her mind from protecting her master.
The old Daoist sat up with difficulty, took some water from Xu Qinglang, drank a few sips, and then looked at the boss’s appearance.
At this moment..,
a piece of glass embedded in the wall suddenly broke,
then..,
a terrifying aura suddenly descended!
The female zombie’s body trembled,
she was so scared that she prostrated on the ground,
this was a suppression from her bloodline, forcing her to submit.
At this moment, father spider-man also opened his eyes abruptly and knelt on the ground. He was still shivering despite his injuries.
The Little Loli stood up with a solemn expression. She did not dare to breathe loudly, but cold sweat was dripping down her forehead. This aura was too terrifying. It was as if as long as the other party was willing.., she would be able to extract her soul from this body and swallow it.
On the other hand, the old priest and Xu Qinglang did not feel anything because they were not at a high enough level to experience such details.
In the next moment..,
the Aura disappeared.
Bai Yingying immediately climbed over to look at the boss.
Zhou Ze’s eyes trembled slightly as he slowly opened them. The first thing he saw was a white-haired and haggard-looking Bai Yingying.
“Sigh.”
He sighed,
zhou ze closed his eyes again.
Firstly, at this time, his physical condition did not allow him to say too much and do anything,
secondly, it would be too pretentious to say too much at this time. Zhou Ze had been a bachelor for two lifetimes. He wasn’t good at dealing with such matters.
Therefore..,
he continued to close his eyes,
play Dead.
This was like a scumbag who would block someone’s contact information and pretend to be missing after playing with them. This was a technology tree that was naturally lit up by men and didn’t need to be taught.
“He’s awake,”said the Little Loli.
“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak…”
At this moment,
the monkey’s voice sounded from outside. It had actually found this place!
It was really a monkey that was so smart that it made people’s hair stand on end!
..
If Zhou Ze was only pretending to be asleep because he was too embarrassed to face Bai Yingying, old Daoist Xu Qinglang, and the others in the beginning, then after that, he had actually fainted again.
This time, his body had been emptied too much. Of course, it had also consumed a lot of his soul.
He didn’t know how long he had been unconscious for, probably about half a month.
When Zhou Ze opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor of the study. Bai Yingying was wiping her body with a wet towel.
What entered his eyes..,
was still white hair.
Zhou ze subconsciously raised his hand and touched the tip of Bai Yingying’s hair.
Bai Yingying’s body trembled. She turned her head and looked at Zhou Ze with a pleasantly surprised look. She shouted, “Boss, you’re Awake?”
“Yes.”
Zhou ze answered.
“Do you want to sit up?”
Zhou ze nodded.
Bai Yingying took a pillow and helped Zhou Ze to sit down by the windowsill.
“Your Face…”Zhou Ze said.
Hearing that, Bai Yingying looked a little lonely. She seemed to think that her boss thought that she was not pretty, not good-looking, not like a high school student who did not want her because she was too tender. She said anxiously,
“Don’t worry, boss. I will make good use of the time to cultivate and restore the origin. I can cover my face with a veil. If you don’t like it…”
Zhou ze shook his head and didn’t say anything. When he recovered, he should have a way to help Bai Yingying restore the origin.
Actually..,
he was wrong about this matter. He was overflowing with sympathy and didn’t care about the damn phone call.
Although the ending was satisfactory, in this process, he couldn’t deny that he had fallen into the trap of the other party and put the people around him in danger. At the same time, he had paid a huge price.
She had opened a bookstore and worked as a ghost. She took in ghosts, read the newspapers, and drank coffee. She lived a leisurely life, but she did not know how to cherish it. She always wanted to be a big hero.
Zhou ze smiled self-deprecatingly and said, “Help me take a bath.”
“Okay, Boss!”
Every time Zhou Ze woke up from paralysis, his first request was for her to help him take a bath. Because the boss was a germaphobe, he could not stand the dirty feeling on his body.
Bai Yingying was very happy because she felt that Zhou Ze did not dislike her for letting her continue to bathe him.
This was an innocent and simple girl. Although she was not that innocent, at least when she was with Zhou Ze, she was really like this.
Sometimes, Zhou Ze would recall the time when he used the camera in the old bookstore to record the scene when he saw Bai Yingying wake up and come down to stir the water in his cup with her tongue,
now that he thought about it..,
he felt that she was a little mischievous at that time.
Perhaps people were like this. After getting along with each other for a long time and getting used to each other, they would have different opinions about a matter.
Zhou ze seemed to have forgotten that when he saw this scene in the surveillance video, he was scared half to death.
Bai Yingying carried Zhou ze downstairs and went into the bathroom. The old priest and Xu Qinglang were not there. Bai Yingying said that the old priest had gone to take his driver’s license while Old Xu had gone back to his hometown.
Zhou ze remembered that the last time old XU said that something had happened when his hometown was being relocated, but he seemed to be busy at that time and did not ask about it in detail. He did not explain in detail either.
As for the priest, he was diligently cleaning up there. His spider-man clothes had been torn during the last battle. The old priest had bought a few more sets of clothes for him. They were the clothes of the “Death attendants.”.
The old priest had said that this style was suitable for him. After all, they were all burned and unspeakable.
Sitting on the small stool in the bathroom, Bai Yingying carefully gave Zhou ze a shower gel. There was a lot of mud on Zhou Ze’s body, so it was obvious what it was.
However, this thing was effective, especially when treating external injuries. Even if Zhou Ze was a germaphobe, he could only pinch his nose and admit it.
“When my body recovers, I’ll help you recover,”Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.
“Okay, thank you, Boss.”Bai Yingying continued to rub Zhou Ze’s body and then said, “Boss, there’s not enough shower gel. I’ll go outside and get it.”
Zhou ze nodded.
Bai Yingying walked out of the bathroom.
She tilted her head slightly and Zhou Ze struggled to stand up. The bones in his body made crisp sounds. This was because he had been bedridden for too long.
Looking at the stubble on his face in the mirror, Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little unfamiliar.
However, this time, it seemed to be better than the previous few times. He did not know if it was because he had been bedridden for longer, but when he woke up this time, the external injuries on his body had mostly recovered. Of course, his body was still very weak.
So weak that..,
zhou Ze’s feet suddenly slipped,
his entire body fell down,
zhou ze subconsciously used his arm to touch the ground first in an attempt to counteract the inertia.
Buzz
The pain after landing was not that clear,
just as Zhou Ze was a little surprised..,
he suddenly saw a black armor appear on his arm. It blocked the impact when he landed.
Zhou Ze slowly stood up again,
he reached out to touch the armor that suddenly appeared. He found that it seemed to grow on his arm. If he tore it off, his body might be badly mutilated.
Zhou Ze looked at himself in the mirror again,
then, he silently took two steps back,
he raised his head slightly,
in the next moment,
a set of black samurai armor slowly emerged from every part of Zhou Ze’s body,
it wrapped his whole body inside,
in the enclosed bathroom,
gusts of chilly wind immediately blew
