Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 313
Chapter 313: No One Answered
They had originally wanted to catch a ghost, but who knew that it would turn out to be a mouse
Although they felt a little strange, they still began to rummage through the place. As for the poor corpse, it had been left there for the time being, and no one paid any attention to it. Now was not the time to pay attention to it.
When they were done, they would call Zhang Yanfeng and ask him to handle it. After all, carrying a corpse to be cremated and destroyed was a very troublesome matter.
The people in the bookstore were here to catch evil spirits, not to make extra money as a cleaning crew.
After searching for more than half an hour, they still found nothing. The place was so clean that it made one’s hair stand on end. Not even a single drop of rat feces was found.
“Boss, why don’t we just burn this house down?”
The old priest suggested.
Burn it down and end it once and for all. That rat would be burned to death no matter where it was hidden.
Zhou ze shook his head. It would be best if he could capture it alive. This way, the reward would be even more generous.
Then, Zhou Ze stretched out his right hand. A cloud of black mist began to rise from his fingertip, and then his fingernails pierced into the floor.
The black mist began to spread out. One wisp drifted toward the little loli, one toward the oriole, and one toward the monkey on the old priest’s body.
The other one slowly floated towards the female corpse and circled around it.
Zhou Ze’s pupils suddenly constricted,
it was inside the corpse!
“Ji Ji!”
A hole was directly opened in the corpse’s stomach, and a rather large rat jumped out from it. The rat’s fur was red, especially at the spot where its eyeballs were. The two soybean grains had an inky black luster.
This meant that it could think, and it had intelligence that surpassed that of a rat.
Actually, this was a very unlucky fellow. Of course, this also depended on luck. The souls of the dead that escaped from hell would face an awkward situation, and that was that their souls would be constantly consumed, if they didn’t find a suitable body carrier, they would vanish into thin air in the world of the living.
At that time, Zhou Ze happened to find Xu Le. Moreover, Xu Le had just been beaten to death with a stick, so Zhou Ze entered while it was still hot.
At the moment, he could only choose to find a rat by the roadside to enter. He probably wanted to find a suitable body, but his luck was too bad, so he had no choice.
“Ji Ji!”
The people in the bookstore formed a circle. The Rat didn’t dare to act rashly, but in the next moment, the Little Loli’s expression suddenly changed and she said,
“Be careful, it’s an illusion.”
“Buzz!”
The old priest immediately knelt on the ground with a dull expression. It was obvious that he had been tricked.
The Little Loli’s expression was serious. Although she was fine, she had already shifted her gaze elsewhere. She did not dare to look at the mouse again. She needed some time to stabilize herself.
Bai Yingying closed her eyes and stood in place.
The little monkey jumped onto the old priest’s shoulder and used its little paws to knock on the old priest’s head. Seeing that the old priest was still unmoved, it looked around and directly jumped onto Zhou Ze’s shoulder. It pointed at the mouse and roared at it.
The mouse’s eyes turned to stare at Zhou Ze,
it couldn’t hypnotize the monkey, but this person… it was horrified to find that it couldn’t hypnotize him either.
Zhou ze tilted his forehead slightly and swung his right hand. Long fingernails grew out. For boss Zhou, the most difficult test he had faced since his rebirth was one illusion after another.
No matter what happened, after experiencing so much, one would be able to remain calm. Moreover, the level of this rat’s illusion was really not that good. Compared to what he had experienced before, it was nothing.
Zhou Ze took the initiative to walk over,
the rat’s body began to tremble. She was afraid. She was afraid.
“Whoosh!”
But in the next moment..,
she suddenly dashed forward, trying to find a gap to hide in.
“Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!”
But the monkey was even faster. After jumping off Zhou Ze’s shoulder, it instantly grabbed the mouse’s tail and ruthlessly smashed it backwards!
“Bang!”
Although the little monkey spent all day in the bookstore with the old priest, eating, drinking, and pretending to be cute, it was the reincarnation of the demon monkey. Its potential was limitless. Dealing with a mouse that was possessed by an evil spirit was really not a big problem.
The mouse that was thrown on the floor was just about to get up,
five nails pierced through it, but they did not directly pierce it. Instead, they firmly restrained it inside.
Got It!
… ..
On the way back, the old priest was still driving. He occasionally looked at the mouse that was placed in front of the Little Loli in a glass bottle and still had some lingering fear
Just now, he was unconsciously hypnotized. If the boss was not present this time, he might have really fallen for the mouse’s trap.
The Little Loli could not help but roll up and down with the big glass bottle, watching the mouse inside being turned upside down, as if this would satisfy her curiosity.
The little monkey stayed on Zhou Ze’s shoulder and kept “Squeaking”as if it was bragging about how awesome it was before, but no one really paid attention to it.
“One has been caught. Let’s go back to the bookstore and send it to Hell first, then catch the other one,”Zhou Ze said.
This was also to be on the safe side. It was better to deal with them one by one. It was better than getting nothing in the middle of an accident.
The Little Loli nodded in agreement with this decision.
Then..,
she took out the ghost identification card to take a look,
then..,
her eyes immediately widened, and her face revealed a look of hunger.
“What’s Wrong?”Zhou ze asked.
“The evil male ghost that was previously in Rugao changed location.”
“Where did he go?”
“Chongchuan District… South Street!”
What a familiar place,
zhou Ze and the old priest’s bodies trembled,
holy Sh * t,
wasn’t the bookstore there? !
Could there be such a coincidence?
For example, this evil man was also a Tongcheng man in his previous life. After he finally came out of hell, he wanted to come to the city center’s South Street to relive it again?
But things shouldn’t be that simple.
“There’s only old Xu in the bookstore, right?”Zhou ze gritted his teeth and said.
“And… and a flower.”
The old priest added.
“Yingying, call old Xu back to the bookstore and tell him to be careful and close the shop for the time being,”Zhou Ze said.
“Okay.”
Bai Yingying immediately took out her phone and dialed the number of the bookstore,
after a while..,
bai Yingying answered with an unsightly expression,
“Boss, there’s no one answering the bookstore’s landline and Lady Xu’s phone right now…”
..
He applied the mask over and over again. Although he knew that the absorption effect of this kind of mask was very poor, Xu Qinglang only wanted to make up for the loss of his skin from the bottom of his heart.
As for how much actual effect it had..,
it was difficult to buy his happiness with a thousand gold coins, right?
He had closed the bookstore long ago. The weather was too good today, and there were too many people on South Street,
well,
it was not suitable for business.
Anyway, in his opinion, Lao Zhou was too embarrassed to let him, who had just recovered from a serious illness, go to work immediately to serve the customers.
There was lyrical music playing on the surround sound system,
lao Xu was lying on the rocking chair that Lao Zhou had always liked, rocking back and forth gently,
he tried his best not to think about things that made him unhappy,
for example, the house price,
for example, his own master,
since he was awake, he should just look ahead.
He reached out and took a sip of the red wine that he had poured earlier. Then, he put it down and continued to enjoy the “Illusion”that his skin was being nourished.
“Knock, Knock, Knock!”
Someone was knocking on the door.
Xu Qinglang sat up in a bad mood. He removed the things that were applied to his face and looked outside. He saw a young man with delicate features standing at the door.
The young man was wearing a baseball cap and a full set of sportswear. Because it was hot outside, there was a layer of shallow sweat stains, but his bangs were not messy at all. His skin was fair, and it was obvious that he had taken good care of him.
“Damn it, why does a man have to be so feminine?”
Xu Qinglang muttered.
Then..,
xu Qinglang waved at the person at the door, indicating that the store was closed. Then, he lay back down.
The knocking at the door stopped as expected. The person must have left.
Xu Qinglang was about to put on his face mask again. He only closed his eyes after putting it on.
Suddenly..,
he felt a chill beside him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a baseball cap appear above him. Then, a rope quickly wrapped around his neck.
“Ugh…”
Xu Qinglang resisted desperately, his hands tightly holding onto the rope. However, the other party was faster and more ferocious. If Xu Qinglang’s body had recovered, he would probably be able to struggle a few more times. However, the problem was that he had just woken up from a long coma, his body was already in a weak state.
Breathing..,
he couldn’t breathe anymore..,
xu Qinglang’s legs kept kicking, but the other party was obviously experienced. He only continued to tighten the rope around the target’s neck.
“Damn it… What the hell… is going on…”
“Bang!”
The old priest’s rattan chair played a decisive role at this moment,
because the quality was too poor,
it broke under the pressure,
xu Qinglang fell from the chair. The other party also did not expect this situation, so the rope missed.
Xu Qinglang immediately rolled on the ground and got up,
before he could do anything, a dagger cut towards him.
“PFFT!”
Xu Qinglang could only subconsciously step back, but his face was also burning with pain. Fresh blood soaked into his eyes, causing his vision to turn red.
F * ck,
his face was disfigured!
At a critical moment of life and death..,
xu Qinglang was actually concerned about this!
The other party did not say much and pounced on him again. Xu Qinglang leaned back and planned to leave the bar counter, but the other party was faster. After pouncing on him, he and Xu Qinglang fell to the ground together.
Xu Qinglang’s fist smashed into the other party’s temple. It was a solid hit, and the other party’s body also trembled. But in the next moment, the other party’s left hand grabbed Xu Qinglang’s arm, and his right hand held the dagger and stabbed down fiercely!
“Pu!”
The entire dagger completely sank into Xu Qinglang’s left arm, nailing Xu Qinglang to the floor.
“Ahhhh! ! !”
Xu Qinglang let out a scream,
at the same time,
blood splattered out,
splattering onto the potted plant next to the window,
the originally tender and bright red flowers were now becoming more and more red,
it was so enviable to the onlookers..
“Ding Ling Ling… Ding Ling Ling… Ding Ling Ling…”
The landline in the bookstore rang at this time,
but no one had time to answer it.
