Midnight Bookstore - Chapter 85
Chapter 85: Brother Monkey!
On the rooftop, Zhou Ze slowly turned around.
The priest’s lips parted in surprise.
The headless woman still stood there. The wind was strong, but her dress did not move.
“That shouldn’t be the case. As a ghost servant, his previous life’s body was definitely gone. Most of his body could only be found in someone else’s body to walk in the human world. How did this zombie appear?”
The priest muttered to himself. His forehead was filled with question marks.
As a qualified bystander, he was good at observing and thinking. He had excellent qualities that every bystander needed.
When Zhou Ze turned around, the priest’s lips slowly turned into a smile as he said,
“Inside the temple!”
What was different from the bronze color on Zhou Ze’s arms was that although the skin in front of Zhou Ze also had a bronze luster, it was very faint and uneven.
At the same time, some parts of the skin started to show wrinkles and cracks, and blood was slowly flowing out. It was a scary sight.
“The soul contains a small part of the zombie’s legacy. After receiving a great mental stimulation, the part of the zombie in the soul is revealed.
However, the body was still that of a normal person, and it could not withstand or inherit such a burden, which led to this weird situation.
This is a zombie, not a zombie. ”
The priest muttered to himself, his eyes filled with excitement. His hands under his sleeves opened slightly, and two scalpels appeared in his palms.
“Which part should I cut and bring back for research? Or should I bring the whole thing back?”
The priest looked distressed as he licked his lips.
The other party was a ghostly servant. The Goddess of Cyan Shirt could not care less about the identity of the ghostly servant, but he could not. If the Goddess of Cyan Shirt completely killed him, then there would be no value in bringing back a corpse for research.
“It’s really frustrating.”
The priest scratched his head, looking conflicted. However, the two scalpels in his hands shone brightly under the sunlight. Instantly, the headless woman and Zhou Ze turned to look at him.
“Oh!”
The priest was stunned.
He immediately threw the two scalpels on the ground and took a step back.
He bowed slightly.
He said sincerely,
“Sorry to disturb you, please continue.”
It was a taboo for a bystander to lead himself into a battle and die without knowing why.
Zhou Ze’s gaze landed on the headless woman again. To be honest, Zhou Ze was a killer from the back previously. Now, the blood that seeped out from his body and the skin that was constantly being cut showed Zhou Ze’s terrible condition.
Rather than saying that the current Zhou Ze was a zombie, it would be more accurate to say that he was some zombie Mr. A. who played the role of an extra in Western zombie films.
The only difference was…
Zhou Ze’s eyes emitted a green glow.
This made him look even more superior than the extras who could be killed with an axe.
Hmm, he upgraded from a walkie-talkie to a walkie-talkie with 50 cents special effects.
“Ah!”
Zhou Ze opened his mouth.
It let out a roar.
There was no earth-shattering sound.
There was no surging heroism.
It sounded more like a scream after the vocal cords were damaged.
The headless woman continued to stand there, unmoving.
And then…
Zhou Ze moved. His movements were exaggerated, and he ran like an athlete in a hundred-meter race. His body was huge, and he lunged at the headless woman.
There was no sound of collision, nor was there any dazzling fireworks.
It was like a drunk man throwing himself at a weak woman.
There was no beauty to speak of.
Crash…
Zhou Ze, who had fallen to the ground, pressed the headless woman under him and raised his fist to punch her.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Punch after punch…
His fists landed on the cement floor of the rooftop.
There were bloodstains everywhere.
It was not Empress Qing Yi’s blood, but Zhou Ze’s.
“Because in this state, there is only instinct and no room to think, so it is no longer affected by Goddess Qing Yi’s ability, right?
“Also, because I have the presence of a zombie, I can touch the soul, and I can attack myself.”
The priest opened his mouth and said, “Oh.”
“How did such a person become a ghost soldier? Has Hell’s review system collapsed to this extent?”
Under the repeated heavy blows, it looked like Zhou Ze was hitting the cement slab every time, but in reality, the green-dressed lady’s body was slowly twisting like a pool of water that was constantly rippling.
Water surface,
It was no longer calm.
Looks like the Goddess in civilian clothes will lose for sure. Even though she does not belong to the Ghost Sequence, she does not possess the offensive power of any physical entity other than her mental influence.
We can only passively take a beating now. ”
Then, the priest looked at the construction site in the distance.
“However, it won’t be long now. Dying at the hands of the person who died before us, the ending should be the same.”
However…
He had just finished gloating.
The priest’s eyes suddenly clouded.
The blue-clothed Goddess, who was pinned under Zhou Ze, suddenly flipped her left hand towards the priest.
“I made a mistake. I can watch from afar with my binoculars and eat my melon.
Why were they so close?
This time, he was going to be controlled to be a fighter.
How unlucky…”
The priest lowered his head and suddenly raised it again, his eyes revealing a green light. Then, he quickly picked up the scalpel that he had thrown on the ground and rushed towards Zhou Ze.
Swoosh!
Shua!
Two scalpels.
It pierced into Zhou Ze’s back.
“Ah!”
Zhou Ze lifted his head and let out a soundless roar.
Then, the priest held the scalpel and tried to pull the incision down, but the incision seemed to be stuck in Zhou Ze’s bones and could not move.
Creak!
Zhou Ze suddenly turned around and swept his arm across.
Yes.
Zhou Ze did not know how to fight, nor did he learn martial arts, nor did he practice boxing. Hence, when he was crazy, he could only counterattack based on one instinct.
A mosquito bites me.
I’ll kill the mosquito.
Zhou Ze’s arm slapped the priest’s face.
The priest’s face was almost twisted. He was sent flying and landed on the edge of the rooftop. If he had been any slower, he would have fallen.
The left side of his face was swollen. He opened his mouth and spat out several broken teeth.
His teeth were stained with blood.
“Baka!”
The priest flipped his hands again and two talismans appeared. They were the Onmyoji’s Ghost-Taming Talismans.
When he charged at Zhou Ze again, he dodged his fist and stuck the two talismans on Zhou Ze’s chest.
For a moment, the runes seemed to be burning. Two burnt marks appeared on Zhou Ze’s chest, and the smell of meat filled the air.
However, Zhou Ze wrapped his arms around the priest and hugged him. Then, he carried the priest and slammed him into the wall on the rooftop.
Bang!
Half of the cement wall was broken, and the priest spat out a mouthful of blood.
Two grown men.
On the rooftop…
Because of a woman.
They fought to the death.
…
“Hey, pay attention over there. Hurry up and push it away. Push it away before those old things come over. Hurry up!”
A construction worker directed the cart forward.
In front was a dilapidated old temple that didn’t worship any Bodhisattva or daoist characters. In fact, it didn’t even have a plaque.
Boom!
The walls of the temple were pushed down, and even the statue that had been damaged beyond recognition collapsed.
The excavator and bulldozer worked together, finally flattening the temple.
“Hey, what kind of temple is this?”
The excavator came down from the machine. To be honest, he was most afraid of encountering such a situation when demolishing someone’s temple. This might damage his own morals and cause him trouble.
Every industry had similar superstitions.
“Small temple. When I was young, there were still people who went to pay their respects. Now, it’s gone. Back then, my grandfather even brought me to pay my respects. Her name was something called Goddess Qing Yi. It was similar to giving a child to Guanyin. I prayed to her for a child.”
“Then why did you ask us to reject it?”
“If we don’t push the project, how are we supposed to continue? You have no idea how long the few old people who used to live here have been arguing with us because of this old temple. Who would still want to worship this godforsaken goddess? There are infertility hospitals everywhere. If we can’t give birth, we can just find a doctor.
“Besides, when I was young, I thought that this Goddess Qing Yi was a big shot. When I grew up, I realized that there was no such person in history. It’s something passed down from the old superstitious feudal dynasty. This can be considered breaking the superstition.”
The foreman spat on the ground and shouted,
“Tell them to hurry up. Before the sun sets, tear down this area!”
…
On the rooftop…
The body of the Goddess in green, who had been pushed to the ground by Zhou Ze, slowly crumbled.
The priest was right.
She was not a ghost.
As Empress Qing Yi collapsed,
A clear look appeared in the priest’s eyes. He stood up and clutched his chest. God knew how many ribs he had broken. When he saw Zhou Ze rushing towards him again, he was so scared that he opened the door on the rooftop and ran towards the corridor. He did not even dare to turn back.
Zhou Ze, who was halfway through his sprint, suddenly slowed down. He staggered and swayed, and the green light in his eyes gradually dissipated.
The bronze luster on his body gradually faded.
Only the top and bottom were left.
The densely packed wounds.
Zhou Ze’s body swayed. In the end, he walked to the edge of the roof and could not control his body.
Once lost,
He fell down.
The back of the building was the garbage disposal area.
Bags of trash were piled up like a mountain, and there were many stray cats and dogs looking for food nearby.
Bang!
“Meow, meow, meow!!!”
“Woof woof woof!!!”
When Zhou Ze landed here,
This shocked the cats and dogs.
Zhou Ze had almost lost most of his consciousness. Only his fingers were still curled up instinctively.
Two bold stray dogs came over and sniffed Zhou Ze’s body.
Squeak squeak squeak!!!
At that moment, a golden monkey holding a plastic mallet jumped up and chased the two dogs away.
Then it turned to look at the man who was still breathing.
When it saw the man’s face,
Monkey scratched his head.
For some reason,
It felt terrible looking at this face.
It could not remember the past, and it had been living here recently. It had tamed all the stray dogs and cats, and it had been living a good life in the trash.
But this face…
This really pissed Monkey off. Although he did not know where this feeling came from, he was still pissed off!
Pop! Pop! Pop!
Monkey used a plastic mallet to hit Zhou Ze’s head several times.
You made me unhappy.
I’m not happy with your looks!
He knocked a few times.
Zhou Ze tilted his head.
He fainted.
“Whoa!”
Monkey was so scared that he immediately dropped the plastic mallet in his hand.
She covered her mouth with both hands.
It was really worried that it had just killed this guy.
