Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 338
Chapter 338: Collapsed!
Zhou Ze, who was standing outside the ward, was waiting for Old Zhang’s soul to appear. If he made it more flashy, he could even send flowers and a microphone,
he asked Old Zhang to talk about his glorious speech.
Unfortunately, the number of people in this world who could see the souls of the dead could be counted on one hand
Otherwise, he could really ask Old Zhang to give a national tour of advanced deeds report or something.
However, suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
The lights in the corridor suddenly trembled collectively,
ordinary people might not think much of it, but it was normal for the voltage to suddenly have some problems.
However, boss Zhou’s body suddenly trembled. He immediately pushed open the door of the intensive care unit and rushed in. However, a black shadow was faster than boss Zhou. It directly passed over the top of the hospital bed and flew out of the window.
Old Zhang’s body was lying there quietly. His soul had disappeared!
Why..,
was it different from the plot in the story,
it was different?
Didn’t the story say that old Zhang had floated there by himself? Then what was that Black Shadow that had just appeared!
In fact, perhaps it was because lawyer an was so worried that he was confused. He was eager to show his presence. After all, he was a new lackey who had just joined the army. He definitely had a strong desire to show off.
Therefore..,
he did not mention the important point of the prison’s reminder,
it was not that he did not say it on purpose,
it was that he might have overlooked it,
in other words,
“Don’t do anything.”.
This sentence had another meaning,
that was, if you cause trouble, then things will turn around and cause trouble for you.
Boss Zhou rushed out of the hospital building as if he had gone mad. He kept looking around the parking lot, but he did not see a single shadow.
His fingernails grew out quickly and were inserted into the ground by Zhou Ze. Black fog started to spread out from his fingertip, extending north.
It was there!
Zhou Ze ran directly in that direction. Since the black fog could point him in that direction, it meant that the thing was not far from him.
There was a street outside the hospital. After Zhou Ze crossed the street, there was a green garden outside the community.
When he ran here, Zhou Ze was already panting.
“Coo Coo… Coo Coo…”
The sound of birds?
Zhou Ze raised his head,
on a tree diagonally ahead, he saw an owl standing on a branch. The Owl’s eyes were looking at him.
At the tail of the owl, there was a gray luster. It was a ghost!
When Zhou Ze discovered the owl, the owl also discovered Zhou Ze. It flapped its wings and began to fly.
If it flew out..,
it would really be like a bird flying in the sky,
unless boss Zhou turned into a salted egg superman..,
otherwise, there was no need to chase after it!
Moreover, Zhou Ze could discover that old Zhang’s dead soul was constantly weakening. In another half an hour, old Zhang would completely disappear.
If Zhou Ze wanted to keep Old Zhang’s soul, he could do so too. However, unless old Zhang was the kind of person who had a deep hatred and obsession, if he was destined to die and go to hell, if Zhou Ze forced him to stay.., then Old Zhang’s soul would be like Zhou Ze, who had just returned from Hell, and it would continue to weaken.
This was also the biggest problem that Zhou Ze faced previously. He originally thought that he could solve it with that pen, but now, something went wrong midway.
“Give me… come back!”
Zhou ze subconsciously stretched out his hand,
ten black fog immediately extended out from his ten fingernails and encircled the owl in an instant.
Zhou ze pressed his palms together,
the black fog also encircled the owl in an instant,
the Owl’s body immediately trembled,
it fell headfirst onto the ground,
it landed vertically on the ground.
Zhou ze immediately rushed over, but immediately after, black smoke suddenly rose from the owl’s body. The Owl’s body instantly turned into dry bones, and even its feathers became tattered.
The black smoke diffused an image similar to a monkey, but it was definitely not a monkey. It was a different kind of creature that had a face similar to Lei Gong’s.
Zhou Ze had forgotten the scientific name of this thing, but he remembered that he had read a similar introduction when he was reading the “Classic of mountains and seas”in the bookstore.
This was an existence that was neither demon nor ghost. It had three tails, sharp claws, and fish scales on its body. It was said that it originated from the Netherworld Sea.
Of course, this was only a small thing. There were very few records of it in the “Classic of mountains and seas”because it was indeed very inconspicuous.
Xu Qinglang had helped Zhou Ze select a number of books, all of which were strange novels. In the Southern Song dynasty, there was a scholar who wrote a book called “Pond Ghost Stories”, which specifically recorded this thing. He named it “Ghost Falcon”, in fact, this was more like a nickname.
It roughly introduced this thing. It said that they liked to move around in the area of barren graves and liked to eat the spirits of the dead and the Yang energy of people. In times of chaos, the number of these things would skyrocket, and once they entered the era of peace.., these things would slowly disappear or even disappear.
At this moment, boss Zhou felt that he had hit the jackpot. Or rather, it was the tragic old Zhang who had hit the jackpot. He had actually been targeted by a wandering ghost hawk and had his spirits cut off.
This probability was like encountering a South China tiger during a picnic in the mountain forest.
Fortunately, boss Zhou had persistently chased after him and did not give the Ghost Hawk a chance to eat. Right now, Old Zhang’s spirit of the dead was still lingering on the tail of the Ghost Hawk. If Zhou Ze had caught up a little slower.., perhaps old Zhang’s soul would have already become a tonic and been eaten.
“Be good and put down its soul. Otherwise, you will die today.”
Zhou Ze did not know if it could understand human language, but he had to try.
In fact, although this ghost falcon looked extremely cunning and had some special supernatural powers, they were all things that were difficult to achieve. Otherwise, its presence in the world of novels would not be so low.
The Ghost Falcon stared coldly at Zhou Ze, but one could see that it was fierce on the inside. Clearly, it knew that Zhou Ze wasn’t an existence that it could deal with.
“Put him down and you can leave!”
Zhou ze said.
It wasn’t that Zhou Ze was willing to bicker..,
it was because since the ghost falcon had taken old Zhang’s soul, it was equivalent to the robber having a hostage. This was completely different from boss Zhou’s situation in Changzhou a few days ago. If you want to kill that kidnapped fat monk, just kill him.., are you using this to threaten me?
But right now..,
zhou Ze had to ensure the safety of old Zhang’s soul. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be busying himself for so long?
The Ghost Falcon’s eyes kept turning as if it was thinking. Moreover, its expression also began to slowly relax, revealing a look of fear and retreat.
However..,
zhou ze suddenly thought of something,
he was in the hospital,
he did not use lawyer an’s method to hide his aura, because he was a ghost. Sometimes, he could indeed be a little more free. In other words, this ghost falcon still chose to snatch food from the Tiger’s mouth even though it had already detected his aura!
At this moment..,
the look of fear and retreat in its eyes..,
it was faking it!
“Do you have a way?”
Zhou ze said in his heart.
He was asking the one in his body..,
although the current situation was just a little strange and boss Zhou had not encountered a real crisis, he hoped to rescue Lao Zhang’s soul completely as soon as possible.
Therefore..,
he could only ask the one in his body for help.
However..,
this time..,
the one in his body did not respond at all, as if it was completely dead.
If it was in the past..,
when Zhou Ze called it, it would not talk to him, but it could send out a slight throb. It could be considered as a perfunctory “Wu Wu”from its throat when it was asleep, but this time, there was no response at all.
What was going on?
There was obviously a strange ghost falcon,
coupled with the sudden loss of contact..,
it gave Zhou Ze a very bad premonition,
it was as if someone had set a trap for him to get into. At the same time, this trap accidentally entangled old Zhang’s soul.
“Huff… Huff… Huff… Huff…”
A wind blew,
it blew the surrounding flowers and plants,
at the same time..,
small white flowers grew at a speed visible to the naked eye on the original vegetation,
a faint mist rose up,
this was a bit like the barrier that ordinary people couldn’t notice and observe when Zhou Ze and the demon monkey were fighting in the past.
“The flowers bloom in two paths, and the soul returns to the netherworld
But alas, I wasn’t fated in my previous life.”
Someone was singing softly, and in the Mist, the shadow of a bridge actually appeared.
At one end of the bridge, there were two stone tablets,
the words “Previous life”were written on them,
on the bridge, there was a memorial arch,
the words “Helplessness”were written on it.
Bridge of helplessness!
… ..
The lights in the prison library were still on. Even at this hour, there was still a prisoner in prison uniform sitting inside with a pen in his hand, writing something.
As a good student in the prison, he was given this privilege as a publicity front, in addition to the achievements of the prison leaders.
After all, creation was not a work on the assembly line, and inspiration often appeared at any time.
It was just that,
he seemed to be in a bad state of creation today,
as he wrote,
he had to stop,
to drink water.
He was stuck,
very stuck.
Scratching his hair,
looking up at the moonlight outside the window, he frowned slightly and stood by the window.
Then..,
he walked back,
he continued to pick up the pen,
after thinking for a long time..,
he put it down again.
He could not continue writing the story that he had originally planned. It was as if a hand had unexpectedly stretched out and messed up everything in the story.
He bit the tip of the pen,
in the end, he had no choice but to put the pen down again,
“Gulp Gulp Gulp Gulp”he drank a few mouthfuls of water,
always calm and like to hang a faint smile on the face, finally appeared a touch of called panic.
“Ah Ah Ah Ah! ! ! !”
He reached out like a madman and tore up the paper in front of him where some words had been written,
sitting in a chair, his chest heaved up and down violently.
“Crash, Crash, Crash Story…”
He looked up,
he felt indignant,
but there was nothing he could do,
“Brother-in-law, I Can’t Save You Anymore…”
Then..,
he kept banging his forehead against the desk like a madman,
at the same time, he wailed:
“Just like I couldn’t save her and the children back then! ! !”
