Chapter 1 NISSAN

In the Nissan,

Zhou Ze sat in the driver's seat, and Doctor Lin sat in the passenger seat.

Normally, newlyweds, full of youthful vigor, sitting together in a car would easily lead to some ambiguous moments, even causing the car body to shake in respect under the spark of passion.

But at this moment, in this place, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Zhou Ze continued to smoke, the figure of the small firefighter constantly appearing in his mind.

He felt a little sad; perhaps that firefighter harbored dissatisfaction and resentment towards him in the end, because he had ridiculed him face-to-face, yet at the last moment, he still used his frail shoulders to support the big tree.

Otherwise,

once that building collapsed again, both he and the old man probably wouldn't have made it out.

He knew his own situation; Zhou Ze's body was also made of flesh and blood. Even a ghost messenger would be dead in that environment. Perhaps there would be a glimmer of hope if he entered a zombie state, but at that time, he hadn't anticipated it at all and didn't have time to enter that state.

So,

at the end of the day,

that firefighter saved his life.

He had wanted to save him, but in the end, he was saved by him.

This feeling made Zhou Ze sigh, but also made him tormented by the predictive ability of this broken notebook.

Doctor Lin,

was she also destined to die?

If King Yama wants you dead by the third watch, who dares keep you alive until the fifth.

The notebook had already been thrown by Zhou Ze into the car; he didn't plan to carry this thing around with him anymore, otherwise, if he walked down the street, that one was about to die, this one might die, he would really be more tired than those saintly superheroes.

Out of sight, out of mind; birth, old age, sickness, and death are the normal states of human beings, you can all do as you please.

Doctor Lin bit her lip. She didn't know what to say. Zhou Ze's tough attitude made her a little uncomfortable. At the same time, she also knew that if something very serious wasn't about to happen, Zhou Ze wouldn't be like this.

"Can… can you explain it to me clearly, what exactly is going on?"

Doctor Lin asked, wanting to hear an explanation.

Zhou Ze licked his lips and said:

"I have something that can predict a person's recent life and death situation. It predicted that you will die soon. Before, it had already predicted that the firefighter would die. I tried to save him, but he still died in the end."

Doctor Lin's expression turned heavy upon hearing this.

She didn't retort to Zhou Ze or forcefully demand that Zhou Ze let her down, shouting that even if she was going to die, she would die at her post and that there were still many injured people here who needed her to treat them.

She was very calm.

After listening to Zhou Ze's explanation, she calmly accepted Zhou Ze's handling of the situation.

This point was very satisfying to Zhou Ze and was also what made Doctor Lin so attractive. She was truly gentle and understanding; being with her always made you feel comfortable.

He reached out and grasped Doctor Lin's hand, sensing that her palm was a little cold. Zhou Ze smiled:

"I'm by your side, it's okay."

Doctor Lin nodded and continued to sit in the passenger seat. However, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Will I affect you?"

Doctor Lin was worried that Zhou Ze would have an accident trying to save her.

"We're not divorced yet, after all."

Doctor Lin stopped talking and continued to sit quietly.

The rescue operation there quickly got back on track. Although the wind was still strong, extreme weather like the previous tornado was no longer occurring. In addition, rescue forces from various places arrived, and the disaster relief work was proceeding in an orderly manner.

People from the hospital came to ask about Doctor Lin's situation, but Zhou Ze brushed them off with the excuse that his wife wasn't feeling well.

Well, with Zhou Ze's Rambo-like performance in saving people earlier, the people at the hospital wouldn't say anything about Doctor Lin's absence from work. After all, the couple had already done more than enough.

There were some snacks and water in the car. Zhou Ze let Doctor Lin eat some, while he took out his phone and dialed the little loli's number.

The call was quickly connected, and the little loli's dissatisfied voice came through:

"The priest has been found for you, but when are you coming back? What if he runs away? Do you know that there were several times when I was tracking him that I was almost discovered by him? He may have already become alert…"

"Shut up."

The little loli immediately stopped talking.

"I have a Yin-Yang Scroll in my hand, said to be something used by a Judge of the Underworld." (Judge of the Underworld: a celestial official in charge of judging souls after death)

"That thing, you really found it?"

The little loli had actually guessed some of this when she saw Sun Qiu's ghost, so at that time, she felt that Zhou Ze was very likely to die there.

But what she didn't expect was that Zhou Ze not only survived safely, but also got his hands on that thing.

This matter was absolutely shocking.

You must know that the hierarchy in the Underworld is strict, and ghost messengers are the lowest level in the Underworld sequence.

It's a bit like two soldiers guarding the city gates in ancient times, one of whom took out an imperial jade seal to show off to the other.

"It, can it predict life and death?" Zhou Ze asked.

"It can sense life and death," the little loli corrected.

"Is it 100% accurate?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I don't know about that, but it should be highly accurate. However, it's impossible to be 100% accurate. Even the Book of Life and Death in the hands of the Ten Kings of Hell has problems, let alone something at the level of a Judge of the Underworld.

Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the Yin-Yang Scroll in your hand should have a problem, its quality has dropped?"

"That's right."

"Then it shouldn't be that accurate."

"Alright."

After saying that, Zhou Ze hung up the phone.

In the bookstore, the little loli angrily threw her phone on the table!

What kind of person is this!

He finishes speaking and hangs up the phone directly, looking for me to solve problems when he needs me, and kicking me away when he doesn't, is that it?

She was still thinking of reminding him that since he went to another city, he should say hello to the local ghost messenger, otherwise it would be a provocation to them.

Moreover, there had just been a natural disaster there, and they were probably busy and dizzy. If a ghost messenger from another place came over without saying hello beforehand, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

Forget it,

do as you please,

this old lady isn't serving you anymore.

…………

"You eat some too."

Doctor Lin handed a piece of bread to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze took the bread and took a difficult bite, chewing extremely painfully.

"Let's stay here for a while," Zhou Ze said. "I don't feel safe driving home like this."

Doctor Lin nodded in agreement.

When it was dusk, Zhou Ze let Doctor Lin sleep first and rest for a while, while he stood outside the car.

The rescue team had already left this village to help in other disaster areas. At the moment, this village was still considered peaceful. Half of the houses hadn't been blown down because of their good quality, and many villagers were staying there temporarily. Some had already gone to stay with relatives.

Zhou Ze stretched. He had a premonition that if they could make it through tomorrow without any accidents, they should be able to get past this hurdle.

When Zhou Ze looked into the car, Doctor Lin was on the phone, telling her little sister-in-law to do her homework properly and not to be greedy and watch TV, and so on.

Zhou Ze was also thinking that if the ghost messenger who had possessed his little sister-in-law was still there, he could have one more person to share the burden now, since both sides were consistent in protecting Doctor Lin.

It was a pity that some things could only be imagined. Zhou Ze didn't regret killing that ghost messenger.

Night deepened, and Zhou Ze returned to the car and turned on the interior lights.

After Doctor Lin finished her phone call, she began to sleep. Zhou Ze kept his eyes open, paying attention to his surroundings.

To be honest, if it was something like *Final Destination*, where all kinds of bizarre coincidences were linked together to make you die in an accident, it would really be impossible to resist. But he thought it shouldn't be that scary.

Around midnight, Zhou Ze, who was a little tired but couldn't sleep because Bai Yingying wasn't by his side, suddenly heard the sound of instruments clattering.

Very close,

just not far in front of the parking spot, which was also a two-story building that had been collapsed by the tornado.

It was possible that the villagers were trying to salvage their property from the collapsed house. Zhou Ze didn't plan to meddle in other people's business. At this time, it was impossible for him to leave Doctor Lin alone here and run outside to ask if they needed help.

At this moment, Doctor Lin, who had been sleeping for a while, woke up. She looked at Zhou Ze with some heartache and reached out to put her clothes on Zhou Ze.

"I'm not cold," Zhou Ze said.

"Mm."

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I want to… relieve myself."

"I'll go with you."

Zhou Ze looked around.

"Just in the bushes behind the car, no one will see."

Doctor Lin was a little embarrassed, but she nodded.

Then, Zhou Ze accompanied her out of the car.

Doctor Lin hesitated for a moment, didn't avoid anything, and didn't ask Zhou Ze to turn around. Right in front of Zhou Ze,

she took off her pants,

and squatted down.

In many ghost movies,

there are always these kinds of idiotic plots,

that is, knowing that the vicinity is very dangerous, but when a girl in the group needs to pee, they still foolishly let the person protecting her turn around and not look,

because she's shy.

And then the accident happens at this time.

Zhou Ze would definitely not repeat that kind of brain-dead plot and setting.

So,

he stood up straight,

staring at her!

Looking seriously!

Looking carefully!

Ensuring safety,

safety first!

Soon, Doctor Lin stood up and followed Zhou Ze back to the car with flushed cheeks.

"You get in the car first, I'll get some water from the trunk."

Doctor Lin obediently got in the car first and sat in the passenger seat.

However,

as soon as she sat down,

her body suddenly stiffened.

"What do you want to drink? Lao Xu has a lot of stuff stored here, there's drinks, mineral water, and milk."

Zhou Ze shouted from behind.

Doctor Lin didn't answer,

because she discovered that,

in the driver's seat,

without her knowing,

someone had actually sat down,

and this person looked,

exactly like Zhou Ze, and this person was turning his head,

smiling at her,

and whispering:

"Hurry, he's asking you, what do you want to drink?"
