Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 83
Chapter 83: Chasing a Murderer In Broad Daylight
The police and ambulance had arrived.
Of course, it did not matter if the ambulance came or not.
Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang squatted on the opposite side of the road, surrounded by onlookers.
Xu Qinglang had yet to recover from what had just happened. His hands were still shaking. He was not afraid of ghosts, and he had seen ghosts often. However, there were many things that could not be measured purely by fear. It was whether the image back then had truly stimulated him.
To Xu Qinglang, who had been savoring the taste of his competitor, the sudden change in style was really exciting.
“This is too scary.”
After a while, Xu Qinglang finally came back to his senses. He lit a cigarette and asked,
“Can this fan really cut off a person’s head?”
Zhou Ze shook his head. “Theoretically, it’s impossible. At most, it’ll be cut.”
“Then this time, it’s beyond the theoretical range?”
“I guess so. When I was a doctor, I did deal with patients who were injured by the fan, but I’ve never heard of anyone whose head was cut off by the fan.
“In fact, even the ancient executioners who wanted to cut off the head of a prisoner of death had to practice their kung fu. There were often people who would not be able to pull out the head even if the blade was embedded in the head.”
“Alright, looks like the fengshui of this place isn’t very good.”
“Pretty good,” Zhou Ze said.
Xu Qinglang rolled his eyes.
“Actually, there are crises everywhere in life. From the looks of it, they are just unlucky.
For example, if you rub the page against your lips, you might accidentally cut a big hole. For example, the tomato alkali in the tomato is also a toxin called biodine. ”
“Then why didn’t I die from eating tomatoes?”
“Four tons is enough to kill.”
“…” Xu Qinglang.
“What do you mean by eating four tons?” Xu Qinglang scolded in a low voice.
“Alright, we’ve seen the shop, so it’s time for us to leave. If we don’t leave soon, the officer will ask us to take our statements again.
We’ve already jumped off a building a while ago. If we do it again, if we meet someone we know, they’ll really treat us like we’re Conan. ”
“What an unlucky day. I was in a rush, but who knew that something like this would happen?” Xu Qinglang tossed the cigarette butt aside and stepped on it.
“I thought you would be happy to have one less competitor.”
“That’s too much. The girl just died.”
“Oh, then tell me, can a person who just died have her soul float out?”
Zhou Ze pointed at the entrance of the shop. There, a girl in a yellow sweater stood.
The dress was different from the dead girl’s, but the girl had a slender body and a pair of long legs.
Of course, if she had a head, she would look even better.
“This…” Xu Qinglang was stunned.
No matter how wronged he was, he would only turn into a Specter at the seventh day. He could not turn into a Specter just because he died, and this depended on luck. If a thousand people died, only one person’s soul would remain in the world of the living.
“I knew it. How could the fan cut off the head directly?” Zhou Ze stood up and started to walk in that direction.
That girl is dead. I have to get justice for her!
“Hiss…”
Zhou Ze subconsciously covered his chest with one hand. It was hurting again.
For my performance, for my performance, this is for my performance!
After taking Chen Zesheng away yesterday, his sales had increased from 88% to 10%. If he took in a genius, it would increase by one or two points. He would have to wait for a long time before he could get back on track!
This was good. He could kill people, and he could kill ghosts.
Valuable!
He changed his mind.
His chest no longer hurt.
Xu Qinglang followed them. However, as soon as he walked into the crowd, Xu Qinglang felt his vision blur. He felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
“F*ck…”
Due to the friction when he fell, there was a cut on his palm. The skin was torn, and blood dripped out.
Xu Qinglang immediately got up. There were onlookers all around, as well as police barricades, but he could not find Zhou Ze and the headless girl.
He was at a loss.
The sun seemed to have become even more blinding, and the air around him was suffocating.
He felt a little panicked and guilty.
Even though his cultivation was not high, he was not a virgin, so he would not be so scared by a headless ghost. However, he could not suppress the anxiety in his heart.
He started to search, weaving through the crowd. He was looking for Zhou Ze, and he was also looking for the headless girl. He felt that as long as he could find one of them, he would be able to shake off this feeling of panic and confusion.
Search, search, search…
Search, search, search…
Beads of sweat dripped down from Xu Qinglang’s forehead. His body was already covered in sweat, and his lips were dry. Xu Qinglang looked up at the sunlight and felt like he could barely open his eyes.
Crack…
A crisp sound came from the back. Xu Qinglang subconsciously pushed away the crowd and staggered towards that direction.
He walked to a noodle shop.
Then, she saw Zhou Ze sitting inside.
“You’re here? I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
Xu Qinglang almost cried tears of joy. The confusion and despair he had just experienced was indescribable. It was as if he had been banished to his own nightmare.
You cannot sense the beginning.
He could not understand the end.
Xu Qinglang ran towards Zhou Ze. He was very, very excited.
Actually, he was not gay, and his sexual orientation had always been normal. It was just that God had given him the wrong person. Sometimes, he would even joke about it, but he did not take it to heart.
However, it was undeniable that after seeing Zhou Ze,
He was genuinely happy!
It was like seeing an oasis in the desert, and the hungry saw a piece of bread.
He lunged. He ran. He opened his arms.
He saw Zhou Ze stand up as well.
Then, he saw the fan above Zhou Ze’s head.
The fan was spinning.
It spun quickly.
Xu Qinglang’s face was filled with fear. He wanted to tell Zhou Ze to dodge, to say no.
However, his body continued to run forward due to inertia.
He seemed to have foreseen his ending.
Zhou Ze would carry him.
Then he raised it.
Then his own head.
Crack…
Like a cucumber being snapped.
However, he did not see her open her arms.
He saw Zhou Ze lift his leg.
Bang!
One kick.
She kicked him hard in the stomach.
Xu Qinglang fell to the ground, only to find that he was lying on the side of the road. A small sedan had just driven past him.
Zhou Ze stood by the road.
Xu Qinglang was already drenched in cold sweat. He touched his forehead.
“Am I on the right track?”
“You almost ran over and got hit by a car,” Zhou Ze said unhurriedly as if he was saying, “Ah, the weather is not right today.”
“That thing is so powerful?” Xu Qinglang asked with lingering fear.
“She probably sensed that we were tracking her, so she made the first move. This is not like a pure ghost. Killing people is like drinking water. If I had not stopped you earlier, you would have been sent flying.”
“If it’s not a ghost, then what is it?”
“Have you seen the Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal who knows how to play?”
Xu Qinglang shook his head.
“I’ve seen her before.” Zhou Ze sighed. “She crossed the road and went to the mall opposite. Don’t go, I’ll chase after her alone.”
“What a joke! She almost killed me, so how could I let her go?”
Xu Qinglang got up from the ground and dusted himself off.
“I’ll go back and cook first. Kill her and wait for you to come back for dinner.”
Zhou Ze nodded. Last night, he felt that the priest was also very good at forcing numbers. Now, he realized that his neighbor also knew quite a lot.
Green light.
Zhou Ze waved his hand and walked across the road. After entering the shopping mall opposite, Zhou Ze continued searching.
Actually, Zhou Ze was a little depressed at times. His ability seemed to be very powerful, and he could make Bai Yingying scream and scream.
However, there were times when it seemed useless.
He was now a witness, but his ability was not suitable for catching ghosts. For example, after the headless woman entered the mall, Zhou Ze had indeed lost his direction in the crowd.
Furthermore, there was another reason why Zhou Ze felt that the other party was not an ordinary ghost. The ghost’s baleful aura was not that strong. It could kill people in broad daylight, and it could use illusions in a crowd to almost make Xu Qinglang run into it himself.
Normal ghosts did not have that ability.
At that moment, Zhou Ze suddenly noticed a woman wearing a yellow sweater walking out from the side. She had a head, and there were freckles on her face.
Zhou Ze subconsciously walked over, but he realized that there were women in yellow sweaters in another direction. Then, he saw many more.
It was only then that Zhou Ze realized that the yellow sweater was the theme work uniform for the employees of this mall.
How was he supposed to find them!
Zhou Ze walked to the freezer, opened it, and took out a bottle of mineral water. He opened the cap and started drinking.
“Sir, the food here must be paid before it can be eaten,” a salesperson in a yellow sweater reminded Zhou Ze.
She was very young, probably a part-time student.
“Sorry.” Zhou Ze took out a ten-yuan note and handed it to her. “Help me pay.”
Then, Zhou Ze reached out and pinched her face.
There was a touch.
It should be the real head.
The girl pointed at Zhou Ze angrily and shouted, “What do you mean?!”
Holding ten dollars and two dollars per bottle of mineral water meant holding eight dollars.
Do whatever you want!
Putting aside the fact that she was not such a person,
Isn’t it too much for you to take advantage of others with just eight yuan?
“Sorry.” Zhou Ze waved his hand and squatted down.
The girl wanted to call for someone to catch a pervert, but seeing Zhou Ze’s action, she did not say anything else. She angrily took the money and prepared to pay at the counter.
Zhou Ze extended his fingers, and his black nails grew out. He pressed them against the ground.
I don’t believe it.
I can’t find you!
A ball of black gas seeped into the ground from Zhou Ze’s fingertips.
And then…
Zhou Ze saw black footprints beside him.
The footprints started to spread out.
It extended all the way to the back of the girl who took her ten dollars to pay the bill.
