Midnight Bookstore

Zhou Ze silently put down his phone and rubbed his eyes at the same time.

The death attendant stood up, picked up a rag beside him, and walked to where the two girls were sitting. He bent down and began to wipe the blood that the little boy had dripped down.

The death attendant’s job in the bookstore was very simple. It was to clean.

There was no need for wages, no need for food and lodging, no complaints, no protests, and no blabbering. He only knew how to bury his head in hard work.

“Oh my god, he’s actually a living person,”a girl exclaimed.

One had to know that they had also noticed this death attendant before. However, because the death attendant had not moved at all, they and the two children had thought that this was just a humanoid sculpture placed in the bookstore.

The death attendant cleaned up professionally, stood up, and prepared to leave.

But Zhou ze stretched out his hand and signaled him not to move.

At this time, the two girls, who were either mischievous or interested, took the initiative to come forward and take a photo with the death attendant. One of them was in charge of taking photos, and the other was in charge of accompanying the death attendant to put up POSS.

Perhaps, in their eyes, this could be considered as an actor hired by the bookstore for promotion.

Boss Zhou lit a cigarette and watched the two girls take pictures with the death attendant. One of the girls was a little too excited and asked the death attendant if she could take off her mask and take a picture with him.

The death attendant didn’t move and looked at Zhou Ze. He was waiting for Zhou Ze’s order.

“It seems that your boss is very strict. It’s so hot today and he still made you cover your entire body.”One of the girls complained on behalf of the death attendant.

“Boss, let him take off his mask and take a photo with us. What if it’s a handsome guy?”Another girl came to beg Zhou Ze.

Zhou ze nodded, indicating that the death attendant could take off his mask.

Then, the death attendant took off his mask,

then, there was a dead silence that lasted for a few seconds,

then:

“Ahhhhhh! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !”

The two girls were so scared that they screamed crazily. They rolled and crawled out of the bookstore. The girl who tripped over the little boy was hit by the glass door when she passed by it, and her face was bleeding.

This hit made Zhou Ze, who was watching from the side, feel his teeth ache. He reckoned that his face would be broken from the impact.

The death attendant was a little confused, but he didn’t show any emotional fluctuations.

After being struck by the Ghost Warrior’s blade last time, a huge scar appeared from his face down, making him, who was already very terrifying, even more terrifying.

Instead of saying that he was a “Person”now, it was actually more like a worm in human form.

Zhou Ze was also not sure why he wanted to keep him around to clean up? To save the expenses of a cleaner?

Of course, it definitely wasn’t some bullshit like “Father and son Love”.

Perhaps, he felt it was a pity.

When the priest was alive, he didn’t care that he was no longer a thing, but look at what he had done. He was really good at causing trouble!

Moreover, he could actually stand up again after he died. Although this kind of thing didn’t seem to be of much use now, it was quite a pity if you really wanted to throw it away like trash.

“Put it on.”

Zhou ze said.

Not only the two girls, even boss Zhou, who was used to the world, felt that it was a little irritating to the eyes.

The death attendant nodded and put the mask back on.

Zhou ze subconsciously shook off the ashes,

seeing that the death attendant was about to walk over with a rag, he stepped on the ground with the soles of his shoes in embarrassment. At the same time, he ordered,

“Go to the counter and burn the two death coins at the door.”

..

The old priest knew many people from all walks of life. In his life, he was actually just fooling around. He did not have a family, nor did he have any children. He judged a person’s success or failure according to the traditional Chinese values, the old priest was undoubtedly a typical example of failure.

However, he only wanted to live a carefree life. As long as he was happy, it was fine. After all, people had to walk on the road to Hell after they died. They had to jump on the bridge of helplessness. Therefore, he had to be as casual as possible when he was alive.

He had been in Tongcheng for more than half a year, but he had made a lot of friends.

In fact, according to Zhou Ze’s intentions, he wanted to get a set of basic research equipment like the ones in the hospital or some high school chemistry labs. He needed to roughly purify and package the resurrection Lily, making it easy to carry and absorb.

The old priest did not know what exactly Zhou Ze wanted to do. He only knew to complete the things that his boss had instructed him to do as satisfactorily as possible.

After leaving the bookstore, he picked up his phone and called a friend he had made in Tongcheng. He wanted a set of purified laboratory equipment and asked if he could get it.

That person was silent for a while before saying, “Okay.”.

The two of them agreed to meet at a coffee shop on South Street. After the old Taoist sat in it, he felt a little silly. If he had known earlier, he would have arranged to meet at the bookstore. This place was just a street away from the bookstore. In the end, he had wasted his coffee money.

That person came with a full beard. He could be considered a cousin of the old priest. When the old priest went to visit a woman who had just stepped out of the shutter door, he was standing at the door waiting.

The old priest shared a cigarette with him. The two of them nodded. Then, he thanked the old priest and said that he had helped him lubricate Dao’er first. It was convenient for him.

Later on, the old priest went again, but when the shutter door opened, it was him who walked out.

After having two experiences, they could be considered cousins. The two of them even added wechat and went out for a barbecue together. The old priest knew that he was a smuggler. In fact, he was just a small hooligan, but he was old.

“Yo, you look terrible,”the old priest asked with concern. “Next time, go less and take more care of your body. If your body collapses, who will they have to rely on?”

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said,

“What are you going to do with that thing?”

“My boss is going to use it to purify something. Anyway, ordinary people can’t touch those things that he made. If they touch it, they will have big problems.”

The old priest said seriously.

“Is that thing overbearing?”The bearded man asked.

“Overbearing?”

The old priest thought for a moment. Yesterday, he carried Xu Qinglang back to his room. Although the boss said that he was drunk, the old priest could tell that it was obviously not. He immediately said,

“It’s very overbearing. Anyway, it’s very enjoyable to sleep in the bed. Damn, it’s scary to watch.”

The bearded man swallowed his saliva and continued to ask, “Then, after you make it, where does it mainly flow out to?”

“Flow out?”

The old priest thought for a moment. The things that the boss made could probably not be used by ordinary people. Perhaps only little loli or boss Liang could circulate it. He replied,

“It can only circulate in their own circle.”

“The original market, right?”

“What?”

“What I’m asking is, only circulate it through the city?”

The old priest thought that boss Liang seemed to be in Shanghai, so he added,

“Maybe it’s also sent to Shanghai.”

“It’s still circulating through Shanghai?”The bearded man’s expression became more and more serious. It was obvious that he was nervous.

“Hey, What’s wrong with you?”

“No… nothing…”

As he said that..,

the bearded man reached out and took out a small earpiece from his ear and placed it on the table. Then, he clasped his hands together and said apologetically,

“I’m sorry, Brother. I was caught by the police for smuggling just now.”

“This…”

The old man was dumbfounded,

this,

no,

no, this..

At this moment,

a coffee shop customer beside him stood up. One of them pressed down on the bearded man while the other two pressed down on the old man’s shoulders, forcing him to sit on the sofa.

“Behave yourself!”

The old man looked aggrieved,

there was a misunderstanding..,

police officers!

“This is my ID. We suspect that you are involved in the production and sale of D products. Please cooperate with our investigation.”

Several policemen walked in from outside. One of them took out his ID and waved it in front of the old man.

..

“Boss, where’s the old man?”Bai Yingying asked Zhou Ze after washing up.

“Go out and buy something for me. I need to process the resurrection Lily I got yesterday,”Zhou Ze replied. “What’s wrong with this guy? It’s been so long, but he still hasn’t bought anything back.”

Bai Yingying nodded, but then her eyes suddenly changed. She immediately walked to the boss and said,

“Boss, there are a lot of people watching us from outside.”

“What?”Boss Zhou hadn’t woken up from reading the newspaper yet.

“A few pedestrians over there, some people reading the newspaper on the stairs, and two women waiting for the bus on the platform are all staring at us.”

Bai Yingying said firmly.

Boss Zhou stood up and walked to the door of the bookstore to have a look.

He wouldn’t doubt Bai Yingying’s judgment. In this aspect, she was actually better than him. After all, when he didn’t drive unparalleled, there wasn’t much difference between him and an ordinary person.

At this moment, Xu Qinglang staggered down the stairs. She was wearing her pajamas and looked loose. As she hit her head, she complained,

“My head hurts so much.”

“Did you have a good dream last night?”Zhou ze turned around and teased her.

“I really can’t touch that Resurrection Lily.”Xu Qinglang shook her head and said, “It’s worse than being drunk.”

In a building opposite the bookstore, an investigator who was using high-powered binoculars to observe immediately sent a message through the headset:

“Report, there’s another woman in the bookstore. She has already gone downstairs and is suspected of having an improper relationship with the owner of the suspect’s shop.”

At this moment..,

the Little Loli who had just finished school got off the bus and walked toward the bookstore with a big backpack on her back.

She was in a good mood and was humming a song with an innocent look on her face.

When she thought about how she would be able to take some home for supper tonight after Zhou Ze finished making that thing, she felt that it was wonderful. She had been craving for it for a long time and wanted to experience the thrill of eating again.

She pushed open the bookstore door and walked in. For the first time, she greeted Zhou Ze with a smile:

“Constable, is that Thing Ready Yet?”

The Scout in the distance reported again:

“Reporting, requesting to postpone the forced entry plan

“A girl has entered the bookstore and is suspected to be a hostage.”
