Chapter 1 Zhou Ze's Choice

Zhou Ze sat down next to the woman. To his surprise, the festering wounds on her body were slowly healing. Zhou Ze knew exactly how terrifyingly damaging his fingernails were.

When Yingying had first awakened, she had been so arrogant and conceited, yet she still ended up howling in pain from Zhou Ze's fingernails. Moreover, zombie fingernails naturally carried many overbearing toxins and even an aura of curse and disaster, which ordinary hospitals had no way to deal with.

But this woman was clearly extraordinary, because this self-healing ability didn't come from her body.

Zhou Ze had seen her body – an ordinary woman who had died from a sudden illness, with nothing special about her at all.

He observed her carefully,

Lifted her clothes,

And saw blue liquid constantly emerging from the wounds and festering areas.

Zhou Ze reached out to touch it,

The liquid couldn't be physically touched, yet it definitely existed.

Could it be something from her soul?

He examined the woman's body again,

But couldn't find anything else.

This couldn't help but disappoint Zhou Ze. This silly girl came here with nothing but that sign?

Was she that poor?

However, the Fourth Master she mentioned was a xunjian (patrol inspector)?

There was also a xunjian in his bookstore.

But could a stupid maidservant raised by a xunjian be so powerful?

By comparison,

Zhou Ze suddenly felt that his own xunjian was a bit pathetic.

Could it really be that after people lost power and were stripped of their official status, they lost not only their position but also many other things?

Or,

Were there different types of xunjian, some good and some bad, some strong and some weak, with Lawyer An belonging to the weak chicken category?

Recalling the scene of Lawyer An kowtowing before him after seeing his ghost messenger certificate,

Zhou Ze felt that

His guess was very likely correct.

At this moment, Lawyer An, who was happily drinking expired coffee in the bookstore, didn't know that

His rating in his boss's mind

Had dropped several levels at once.

…………

After hesitating for a moment,

Zhou Ze felt that

The safest method was still to kill this woman. As for the "Fourth Master" she spoke of,

Whatever,

In any case, Zhou Ze had killed people from the Naihe Bridge and other places. When you have too many lice, you don't care about the bite, and he didn't mind adding another one.

However, Zhou Ze felt a moment of hesitation in his heart.

A moment later,

The hesitation was erased.

She had tried to kill him earlier,

Hesitate for what?

Zhou Ze's eyes narrowed, and the fingernail on his middle finger grew out, directly stabbing into the woman's forehead.

Kill her,

And be done with it!

However,

At this moment,

Zhou Ze's palm suddenly felt hot.

The baby face that had just appeared in his palm suddenly jumped out, but it was no longer black, but blue, much purer than before.

But that trademark "weird" smile was still there. Although it had a flattering expression towards Zhou Ze,

It was like those early movies,

Where the villains and underground workers had their true natures written all over their faces, so the audience could understand at a glance.

Even if this guy was "purified" by the one in his body, turning from a wolf into a husky, it was still impossible to completely trust it.

The baby face's shape was a bit like a snake. It slithered out from Zhou Ze's palm, but now it looked a little transparent, probably because it was weak.

"You don't want me to kill her?"

Zhou Ze asked.

The other party nodded.

Immediately afterwards,

The baby face directly prostrated itself on the woman's body, and the blue liquid that was originally secreted from the woman's body to help her heal began to be absorbed by the baby face.

Gradually,

The baby face began to transform.

Its body began to lengthen and become thinner. Even the baby face itself began to fade, and its color changed from blue to black, turning into a slender black snake.

Perhaps,

This was its true form.

The previous baby face form was just because the jade pendant was carved that way. Its true "appearance" should be a snake.

A curse snake, hidden deep within the jade pendant!

Correspondingly, the tattoo on Zhou Ze's palm also began to change, turning into a black snake coiled there, flicking its red tongue.

"The stuff flowing out of her soul can be absorbed by other soul bodies and can also help with healing?"

The black snake nodded, but continued to prostrate on the woman's body, greedily absorbing.

"You get back here!"

Zhou Ze forcefully pulled it back.

The black snake struggled a few times, but finally had to return to Zhou Ze's palm.

"No wonder that 'Fourth Master' kept this silly girl by his side all the time. It turns out this silly girl isn't simple herself."

Zhou Ze muttered to himself. The reason he had summoned the black snake back was because Zhou Ze saw that as the blue liquid was constantly being absorbed by the black snake, the woman's physical condition began to deteriorate rapidly, and most of her body surface began to rot again.

Boss Zhou was all about long-term benefits. Only an idiot would do something like draining the pond to catch all the fish.

However,

In this way,

Zhou Ze, who had originally planned to kill her, changed his mind.

He would take this girl back, find a way to seal her, and directly make her the Late Night Bookstore's R&D resource.

Then,

Anyone who was injured could rely on this woman to recover.

Also,

Weren't there a few small animals in the bookstore?

The little monkey, and the white fox with the broken tail,

Even,

The black cat in the Yin-Yang Book,

Could they also rely on absorbing this to recover?

Although the little monkey's predecessor, the masturbating demon monkey, had left a very unpleasant impression on Zhou Ze, it was undeniable that if the little monkey could regain its original strength, the bookstore would really have a Sun Dasheng (Monkey King) guarding the house.

Zhou Ze looked around and found that his phone had shattered in the battle just now. This was a pain in the ass. This place was in the middle of nowhere, so how would he get back?

The taxi was still there. Although it was a relatively rare automatic taxi, Zhou Ze had been able to drive it with one hand before. But now, his right arm was broken, and he had lost two fingernails on his left hand, and the other fingers were bloody and almost paralyzed. How could he drive?

Ah,

He was confused.

Zhou Ze bent down,

Following the example of the black snake just now, he pressed his face against the woman's chest. He didn't know the specific method of absorption, but he just needed to suck hard.

However,

As Zhou Ze sucked, besides feeling a cool and comfortable sensation deep in his soul, there was no change in his injuries, and there was no sign of improvement.

It shouldn't be like this.

It should be effective.

The black snake could recover by absorbing this, proving that the blue liquid was effective for the recovery of soul bodies. Even if it couldn't help soul bodies advance, it should be no problem to repair them on their original basis.

And this woman, wasn't her body recovering now? It should also be effective for the body.

Or,

Was the blue liquid really only effective for the recovery of soul bodies, and the woman was stimulating the potential of her body, causing the body to recover at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, because her soul was in this body and affected by it?

So,

This thing was still only effective for soul bodies, and had no effect on physical injuries.

Thinking about it, Zhou Ze casually made a few more cuts on the woman's body, keeping her injuries in a "very serious" state to prevent her from recovering too quickly.

After all, Zhou Ze had even sacrificed his fingernails to defeat her, and he didn't know how long it would take for them to grow back. If this woman secretly regained her strength again, that would be a real headache.

Carrying the woman's body, he walked back to the taxi.

He checked it

And found a cell phone inside, that didn't have a password, used by the lady driver for GPS.

Boss Zhou's original phone book only had a few numbers in it, and he had memorized the numbers, so Zhou Ze called Old Zhang first.

"Hello, Boss, what's wrong? I'm busy here. There's just been a taxi driver robbery in Tong City, and I'm leading people to investigate."

"............" Zhou Ze.

"Boss?"

"I robbed the taxi, but it's all good now."

Old Zhang paused for a long time before saying with difficulty, "Okay."

"Drive over and pick me up at the place where you dug up the body last time. I can't drive now."

"Okay, Boss, I'll be right there."

After hanging up,

Zhou Ze poked a few more holes in the woman's body with the fingernail on his middle finger, and then lay down on the seat with peace of mind.

About twenty minutes later, Old Zhang's car drove over.

"Boss, is that you?"

"I'm here."

Zhou Ze yawned. He was a little tired and wanted to go back to sleep early.

He stretched,

Saw that the woman had recovered a lot,

So he poked a few more holes in the woman's body.

Old Zhang, who had just walked to the car, was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Carry her up, take her with us, she's useful."

Old Zhang took a deep breath and nodded. He felt that he was becoming more and more like a bad cop.

Sitting in Old Zhang's car,

Half an hour later, he finally returned to the bookstore.

Zhou Ze poked a few more holes in the woman on the way.

Damn,

Her recovery speed was insane!

Boss Zhou felt that if he was that Fourth Master, he wouldn't be willing to kill this silly girl either. He would have to coax her and talk to her every day, no, brainwash her.

"You're back?"

Lawyer An opened the door and walked out.

He saw Old Zhang carrying a woman down.

At first,

Lawyer An didn't think much of it,

But as the woman was carried past Lawyer An,

Lawyer An was suddenly stunned.

He turned around, stopped Old Zhang, and then placed his hand on the woman's head, closing his eyes.

A moment later,

Lawyer An's expression suddenly changed,

And he exclaimed:

"Cuihua, is that you?"
