Chapter 152 Beast in Clothing

Zhou Ze didn't think the Faceless Woman would do anything heinous. Her limitations would only be greater than his own, otherwise she wouldn't have needed to "disguise" herself as Doctor Lin in order to take the opportunity to approach him.

However, being targeted by someone like that was definitely not a comfortable feeling.

She could become a security guard in a shopping mall, a bus driver, an old lady waiting by the roadside for you to help her,

Or a big sister in an alleyway inviting you in for tea and a heart-to-heart.

As long as you still have a social network, as long as you still need to go out, she has the ability to approach you, and you must always be prepared for an attack from anyone around you.

Zhou Ze didn't understand what she wanted to get from him, but looking at the many examples in the Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio where female ghosts liked to absorb the yang energy of men to replenish themselves, the Faceless Woman probably had no more than these few purposes.

Or, did she want his body?

Or, did she want his current temporary worker status?

Zhou Ze wasn't sure if Little Lori knew about this, but probably even if she did, she wouldn't really do anything to interfere, because it was very likely that the Faceless Woman was deliberately released by Little Lori and her fellow ghost messengers to help with things.

The Faceless Woman didn't directly attack him, possibly because she had other concerns. Of course, looking at the now exceptionally well-behaved Bai Yingying, the Faceless Woman was probably also very afraid of his fingernails.

When he first entered Hell, the Faceless Woman wanted to keep him there, but she was injured by his fingernails, allowing him to leave. Perhaps that time really left a deep impression on her, forcing her to use a honey trap to deal with him.

But one thing also made Zhou Ze a little sad,

Ghost Saliva Incense,

Ten times, a hundred times the impulse,

He was actually able to restrain himself.

Zhou Ze wasn't proud of his strong willpower,

Only a faint, inexplicable sadness.

Sitting at the counter, casually flipping through some books, Zhou Ze also searched online for information about the Faceless Woman, to see if he could find any valuable information.

He didn't find any valuable information, but he did find Stephen Chow's film *Forbidden City Cop*.

Then Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying spent half the afternoon re-watching the movie.

There was a villain Boss in it who also had no face and could transform into other people's appearances.

After the movie was over, it was already evening, and Zhou Ze signaled Bai Yingying to open the shop door.

Bai Yingying hesitated a little and said, "Boss, aren't you afraid she'll come again?"

"Not doing business anymore?" Zhou Ze retorted, "Or can you contribute some funerary items for me to exchange for some money to tide over the shop's finances?"

The female corpse pouted and still went to open the door.

She had money. When Madam Bai was buried, she was a young lady from a wealthy family after all, and there should be many funerary items. In addition, Madam Bai had stayed in the human world for two hundred years, and she couldn't possibly bring those worldly possessions into Hell, so they naturally stayed behind.

Looking at how many bags Bai Yingying had bought back during her limited opportunities to go out, Zhou Ze knew in his heart.

At first, Zhou Ze suspected that the female corpse had stolen money from the shop to spend, but later Zhou Ze found that all the money in the shop combined was not enough for the money for her several bags, so he no longer suspected it.

Madam Bai initially needed an eight-carried palanquin to marry Xu Qinglang, who owned more than twenty sets of houses.

Bai Yingying was obsessed with branded sachets.

This was definitely not good news for single dogs in the world, meaning that even if you die and become a ghost, it's still difficult.

The shop door had just been opened for a short time, just the time it took Zhou Ze to make a cup of tea, when a middle-aged man walked into the shop.

Bai Yingying stood in place, staring at him.

Zhou Ze was also subconsciously looking at him. Although his reason told him that it was unlikely that the Faceless Woman would be so anxious and change her appearance again, he always had to be on guard.

The middle-aged man was wearing a leather jacket, many parts of which had faded to white. He was wearing a pair of somewhat old leather shoes, and his pants were casual pants, not so bright and beautiful.

On his head, he was wearing a tall hat, which looked a little comical.

The middle-aged man walked to the bookshelf and subconsciously rubbed his hands, preparing to find a book to read, but the more he looked, the deeper his brow furrowed, and at the same time, he complained:

"Boss, you only have novels and this kind of messy stuff here, don't you have any other books to read?"

"There are some here."

Zhou Ze signaled Bai Yingying to move the box behind the counter over.

Bai Yingying did as she was told.

The other party squatted down and continued to select books from the box, flipping through several in a row, the covers of which were all things that were unbearable to look at.

Like *A Bin*,

Like *The Doorman*,

Like *Chen Pipi*.

The middle-aged man was so angry that his fingers trembled, and he pushed the box forward,

"What are you doing giving me these things!"

The middle-aged man was very angry. After standing up, he pointed at Zhou Ze:

"Are booksellers these days so shameless!

Hiding filth,

Hiding filth!"

Zhou Ze lit a cigarette, propped one foot on the counter, and ignored the guy.

The middle-aged man angrily turned around to leave. When he reached the door, he turned his head and saw that there seemed to be some rather serious books on the small bookshelf at the door. He immediately stopped and selected Qian Mu's *An Outline of Chinese History* from it, and then sat down on a small stool to start reading.

Zhou Ze didn't bother with him either. His bookstore, anyway, didn't discriminate, people and ghosts could come, those who weren't people or ghosts could also come. It was just that the current period was a bit tense, and he needed to pay more attention to the movements of that Faceless Woman.

At this time, Zhou Ze's phone rang. He took out the phone and saw that it was actually his sister-in-law's phone.

"Hello." Zhou Ze listened to the phone attentively.

Last time, it was Doctor Lin's WeChat, this time, it was his sister-in-law's phone. It was possible that the Faceless Woman was playing the half-buttocks trick again.

"Brother-in-law…" his sister-in-law said coquettishly on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Ze hung up the phone directly.

There was a problem,

A big problem!

When had his sister-in-law become so gentle?

This was clearly actively offering half of her buttocks,

Just like that night in the Maserati when Doctor Lin said she would wear stockings next time.

Zhou Ze didn't think he had… no, Zhou Ze didn't think "Xu Le's face" could have the ability of a female assassin.

The phone rang again, still her phone.

After thinking about it, he still answered the phone:

"Hello."

"Xu Le, you bastard, how dare you hang up on me!"

Now the persona was normal.

"What's the matter." Zhou Ze responded coldly.

"I went to KFC with my friend to study, and my wallet was stolen. Do you have any money there? Just give me seven or eight thousand to tide me over."

Zhou Ze hung up the phone again.

Hmm,

It must still be the Faceless Woman.

Even if it wasn't the Faceless Woman, when he heard "seven or eight thousand," Zhou Ze believed that she was impersonating the Faceless Woman.

That's right,

That was it.

The phone rang again. Zhou Ze was a little annoyed, and the middle-aged man sitting there reading a book even frowned at Zhou Ze, obviously, Zhou Ze's repeated phone rings were disturbing him.

"Sorry, I'll put it on silent." Zhou Ze said.

The other party lowered his head and continued reading.

However, his sister-in-law was still calling non-stop, so Zhou Ze could only answer once more.

"Xu Le, you can't just stand by and watch me die, I can only ask you for this money, can I borrow it from you?

Can I not tell my parents and my sister about the Maserati woman?"

"You should tell them."

"…………" his sister-in-law.

Damn, don't just give up like that, you still have a chance to be saved!

After paying all kinds of fees last time, he only had a few thousand dollars left in his pocket, and he gave it all to her. He could only drink the northwest wind himself.

"Xu Le, please, help me, let me tell you the truth, I went to a disco with a girlfriend, and then both of our wallets were stolen. I can't let my parents and my sister know about this, otherwise they will scold me to death.

My girlfriend has to pay for her painting class tomorrow, and her tuition fee was in her wallet before. This can't be delayed."

"Tell her to ask her parents," Zhou Ze said.

"Her family's conditions aren't very good. This tuition fee was still earned by her working during the winter vacation. Her family won't agree to give her money, Xu Le, can I borrow it from you? When I get my pocket money next month, I'll pay you back."

Zhou Ze still wanted to refuse,

Just at this moment,

The phone said again: "That's settled then, our taxi is here, fortunately I still have a little money in my WeChat, so I can still afford a taxi, otherwise you wouldn't see me."

The phone was hung up, and two girls walked over outside the bookstore.

The two should be classmates, their clothes were normal, but they were obviously deliberately made up.

Girls of this age are like hibiscus emerging from water, and makeup is actually superfluous, but unfortunately, they don't understand this at this age.

Zhou Ze stood up and walked over.

"Xu Le, brother-in-law, please help." His sister-in-law began to act coquettishly towards Zhou Ze.

The girl next to her seemed a little timid, standing next to his sister-in-law, very embarrassed and restrained.

Zhou Ze was thinking of a reason to refuse,

But just at this moment,

The middle-aged man who was originally sitting there quietly reading suddenly stood up,

His breath began to become thick,

The veins on his neck were bulging out,

Like he was in heat!

Zhou Ze directly pressed one hand on his shoulder, holding the guy down.

At the same time, he said to Bai Yingying, "Get the money."

Bai Yingying took out five thousand yuan from behind the counter and handed it to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze took the money with one hand, then gave it to his sister-in-law, and at the same time exhorted:

"It needs to be paid back."

"I know."

The sister-in-law who took the money turned her eyes on Bai Yingying and said, "Who is she?"

"A clerk, your sister knows her," Zhou Ze explained.

"Oh, okay."

The sister-in-law was soft-handed after taking the money, and pulled the female classmate next to her and turned around and left the bookstore.

The middle-aged man next to Zhou Ze made a gesture to chase out, but Zhou Ze directly turned around and pressed him against the glass window with both hands.

If this guy hadn't suddenly gone crazy, how could Zhou Ze have given the money out so readily?

"Are you a dog that can't stop eating shit?" Zhou Ze said in a deep voice, "I was still hesitating, but now there's nothing to hesitate about, I'll send you back to Hell."

The middle-aged man was still struggling non-stop.

"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin, right?" Zhou Ze smiled angrily, directly pointing at the glass window in front of him, and said, "Look at what kind of hat you're wearing on your head."

The middle-aged man looked at the glass window, he saw his "reflection",

In the reflection,

He was wearing a tall hat,

With the four black characters "Beast in Clothing" written on the hat.

The middle-aged man was stunned,

Instantly stopped struggling,

Muttering in his mouth:

"Disgraceful… disgraceful…"
