Chapter 73: eting of Old Friends

Hearing the commotion outside,

Zhou Ze, who had been squatting there, sat on the floor dejectedly. The tile floor was cold, but what was colder was his heart.

Oh.

I forgot.

She had no heart anymore.

Opening his shirt, Zhou Ze realized that the empty spot had been restored. In just one night, it was completely restored.

This made Zhou Ze wonder if he had fallen for the other party’s illusion. Actually, his heart was still there.

Because he could feel the heartbeat, his body was still alive, and there was no problem.

However, it seed like so kind of emotion had been sucked away.

So of his instinctive reactions were also marked with forbidden symbols. It was like an invisible wall had trapped him.

Last night, he should have rushed to the victim’s side like Xu Qinglang did. Even if his first thought was that the victim was definitely dead, he should have reacted that way.

Just now, when Xu Qinglang scolded him, he asked, “What does it have to do with ?”

Actually, in his current state last night, he had first killed the monkey, and then he was dragged to the dining table by the strange old man to taste a unique al. He was already in a daze.

Even if he had sensed sothing when those people were playing the Pen Spirit ga, he could not have reacted so clearly.

Last night, he had been like a bird startled by the re twang of a bowstring, panicking at every bush and tree. Any so-called “palpitation” was sowhat ambiguous.

Of course, these were all excuses. Zhou Ze could clearly feel that he was doing ‘corrective teeth’. He could continue eating and drinking, but there were always so restrictions, and he just felt a little uncomfortable.

This was human nature. No matter how much misfortune or oppression you encountered, as long as there was hope before you, you would always be able to hold on to it tightly and continue to walk forward.

In the past, Zhou Ze was like this in the orphanage and in the hospital.

It was the sa for him now.

To put it nicely, it was called tenacity. To put it bluntly, it was better to live than to die.

With both hands on the ground,

She looked up.

He heaved a sigh of relief.

I didn’t have ti.

He kept telling himself that he had to find that thing sooner and catch it, throw it into hell, and earn a profit. It was definitely a lucrative achievent.

However, how could they not know that as long as they could not find the thing, as long as one person died, there would definitely be a second or third person?

If a ghost really did kill soone, it would only grow more and more crazy. To a ghost, the act of repentance would be like dissipating into thin air.

Because of this, there would always be people who would mysteriously end their lives in this way.

However, Zhou Ze could not think that way. He could not use this as a target to worry. Otherwise, the pain in his chest would make him wish he was dead.

Just as the old man had said at the dining table, as long as a person lost his conscience, he would not be any better.

At that mont, he looked up in a daze. He saw that there seed to be a light black thread on the ceiling.

Suddenly…

Zhou Ze’s body trembled.

He found it.

He had found that thing.

It did not co in at all, and it was not in this bookstore last night.

It was on top.

It looked down.

Observe everything here!

In fact, its outstretched hand affected the tip of the pen, and it slowly joined the ga.

This was an unimaginable thod, a thod that surpassed Zhou Ze’s understanding.

“Finally, no more deaths!”

“Ouch… it hurts…”

Zhou Ze, who had just stood up, had no choice but to bend down again.

“We can finally produce results.”

Alright, it did not hurt anymore.

F*ck!

“The deceased is Chen Yinong,” Xu Qinglang said to Zhou Ze as he chewed Areca.

“The guy who was about to confess last night?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Yes, that’s him. I was listening to the police, and he should have just finished his statent. Who knew that he would appear here right after leaving the police station and jump down?”

The police did not lock onto the actual suspect, so after Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang had finished their statents, the rest of the police let them leave after the investigation. The only limitation was that they were not allowed to leave Tong City during this period of ti.

“So, he died of love after returning from the police station?” Zhou Ze sighed. “What a scary wedding.”

“Hey, can’t you be more polite? She’s already dead,” Xu Qinglang said to Zhou Ze.

“Accumulation? Do you need it? I still have so notes. If you need them, you can burn them.” Zhou Ze shrugged.

“I wonder who invented this kind of stupid thod of burning money to accumulate virtue. Do you think burning money can solve all your problems?”

“That sounds like money is the source of all evil. Then why don’t you sell all twenty of your houses and donate them to the construction project?”

“…” Xu Qinglang.

“Accompany sowhere,” Zhou Ze said.

“Where?”

Zhou Ze pointed at the tall building on the west side and said, “There.”

There were several skyscrapers in the business center, and all of them were connected to each other. Of course, with the abandoned business center, the business owners had already moved out.

This was one of the signs of the city’s overdevelopnt. The buildings in the skyscrapers exceeded the daily needs of people, and this kind of huge ghost building often appeared. It was also a waste of resources.

The elevator had stopped moving, so Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang could only go up the stairs.

“Hey, the two of them were on the opposite side when they jumped off the building,” Xu Qinglang reminded him. “They were on the opposite side, right above your store and . Why are you here?”

At this mont, the two of them were located on the west side of Zhou Ze and Xu Qinglang’s store. There was almost a hundred ters between them and the place where they had jumped off a building to commit suicide.

“You’re also a Mystic. Then, what made you, an insider, think that ghosts need to kill people like living people and have to stand in front of them to stab them?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Then what makes you think that thing is here?”

“The groove on the tile.”

The two of them had already reached the fourth floor. Zhou Ze chose a straight line that faced the shortest distance from his shop. Then, he extended his index finger and gently slid it in front of him.

“What does that an?” Xu Qinglang asked.

“If you’re just going to be a curious baby asking ‘why’, I suggest you act in a mystery television series because there’s always a need for a dumb assistant to stand next to the main character and ask ‘why’ non-stop, giving the main character a chance to act cool.

“Damn, you’re becoming more and more sarcastic,” Xu Qinglang grumbled.

“Because I’ve always treated you as a brother and not a woman.” Zhou Ze patted Xu Qinglang’s shoulder.

“Then you don’t seem to be very gentle with Bai Yingying.”

Zhou Ze moved his index finger again and said, “Actually, this should be a parallel line. Can you understand?”

“You an that when they were playing the Pen Spirit ga last night, they really did summon sothing, but that thing did not co close. Instead, it was standing at the sa spot as us.

“Then, with his own fingers, he controlled the movent of the pen to point at you?”

“Correct.” A smile appeared on Zhou Ze’s lips. “So, that person is very brave. Last night, the people from the Fan Association asked if they could successfully see a ghost tonight, and the pen pointed at .

It doesn’t mind offending , or even killing people beside . ”

“That crazy?”

“No, in my eyes, this ans that it is more valuable, and the result will be more obvious if you send it in. This is a big fish, a big fish that doesn’t even care about ghost business.”

“Isn’t that dangerous?” Xu Qinglang mumbled.

“That’s why I called you.” Zhou Ze looked at Xu Qinglang. “I said that I treat you as a brother, so if the other party is scary, we’ll die together. Isn’t that romantic?”

“…” Xu Qinglang.

“Romantic my foot, you pervert!”

“It’s fine. If worse cos to worst, I’ll go to hell. I’ve been there before, and the roads are familiar.”

Zhou Ze gestured again, then took out his phone to look at the line in the photo. He continued to estimate the angle in his heart, then pointed to the roof. “It’s on the fifth floor. There shouldn’t be too much deviation.”

“Hey, at least tell earlier to bring so magical equipnt!” Xu Qinglang complained as he followed Zhou Ze up the stairs.

“Rember that night when you tad the white oriole. It doesn’t matter if you have a Dharma artifact or not.”

Xu Qinglang was at a loss for words. He scolded, “You heartless thing.”

Zhou Ze paused and smiled.

Then…

The two of them walked to the east side of the fifth floor where the window was.

This place was supposed to be an amusent park, but it was already covered in dust. So machinery and facilities that had not been moved were still placed there, and it gave off an extrely desolate atmosphere.

Xu Qinglang was a little nervous, but Zhou Ze continued to walk forward unhurriedly.

It should be here.

Suddenly, Zhou Ze stopped in front of an air cushion toy city.

“Aiya, long ti no see!”

A familiar voice ca from behind the mattress.

Zhou Ze looked up.

An old man wearing a dirty Daoist robe jumped down.

“Big brother, long ti no see. I’ve missed you so much. Co, co, let’s drink tonight. I’ll treat you and return the favor!”

The old Daoist priest walked over and greeted Zhou Ze.

At this mont…

Xu Qinglang instinctively made a hand seal.

“Boundless Heaven and Earth, Profound Heart Technique!”

He bit his index finger and tapped the area between the old Daoist’s eyebrows.

The speed was very fast, without any hesitation.

However, what happened next shocked Xu Qinglang. The old Daoist priest glanced at Xu Qinglang as if nothing had happened and said unhappily,

“Is there sothing wrong with your wife? Perhaps this is a custom of your family. You like to sar blood on people’s faces when you greet them. This is even more freaking cool than the Dai Clan’s Water Splitting Festival!

Co, co, let teach you the customs of our hotown. ”

As he spoke, the old Daoist priest reached out to scratch his crotch as if he wanted to return the favor.

However, at this mont, Zhou Ze suddenly reached out his hand. His nails grew out and grabbed the old Daoist priest’s neck.

anwhile, the old Daoist priest had unknowingly produced a bright yellow talisman in his hand. He looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.

“Damn it… You’re faster than …”

Zhou Ze glanced at the talisman paper and exerted force with his nails. The old Daoist priest seed to have been electrocuted. In the end, he was lightly pushed by Zhou Ze and rolled on the ground.

Zhou Ze ignored the old Taoist priest who was unconscious on the ground and jumped over the air mattress.

Behind the air mattress.

There was soone lying there.

He was covered in injuries.

Found it.

It was indeed here.
