Chapter 197 Old Acquaintance

Zhou Ze and the woman walked out of the elevator. Although it was late at night, the hospital's emergency building was still brightly lit, and patients were being brought in from time to time.

"You, come with me."

The woman looked at Zhou Ze, licked her lips, and even deliberately thrust her hips forward in a theatrical manner.

Was she trying to use a seduction technique?

Please,

The frost on your face hasn't completely melted yet; your face is pale. You look like an old aunt who just took off her makeup...

And,

Such clumsy flirting; my Yingying does it more professionally.

Plus,

As for how to resist the charm of a beauty,

Boss Zhou wasn't talking about anyone in particular,

But all of you here...

Nevertheless, Zhou Ze still followed the woman out of the elevator.

The woman thought she had succeeded in seducing him. She walked with a brisk pace, even seeming confident and cheerful, looking like a complete idiot.

Zhou Ze followed closely behind. In reality, Boss Zhou was waiting for an opportunity. Once they reached a less crowded area, he would take this woman down. The Ghost Festival was like an annual company celebration for the bookstore; the "sales volume" would definitely be higher than usual.

The woman walked out of the hospital and stood by the roadside. She spread out her palms, constantly bending her fingers, as if calculating something.

Zhou Ze stood beside her, waiting, not in a hurry to make a move.

"Southwest, sixty *li*."

The woman looked southwest, then turned to Zhou Ze.

"Do you have a car?"

Zhou Ze shook his head.

The woman frowned, somewhat displeased.

"A man without a car wants to sleep with me?"

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

"Walking there is too slow. Let's steal a car." The woman muttered to herself, then glanced at Zhou Ze and said, "Get lost."

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

The wandering soul possessing this woman’s body,

Seems to have come with a mission.

This doesn’t seem like a normal possession.

Could it be,

That she came from hell?

Zhou Ze pondered in his heart, then said, "I can call a car."

"Okay, I can continue to sleep with you."

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

Zhou Ze took out his phone and called a car.

Soon,

The car arrived.

The woman got into the car, and Zhou Ze followed.

"To the stadium?" the driver asked, looking at the navigation.

"Drive southwest," the woman said.

"Huh?" The driver obviously didn't understand.

"Let's go to the stadium first," Zhou Ze said.

Zhou Ze had randomly marked a point southwest on the map earlier. The woman hadn't said exactly where, so he couldn't pinpoint the exact location.

The driver started the car.

The car stereo turned on,

Playing Jin Zhiwen's "Run Away,"

A cheerful song.

In the car,

The woman continued to calculate, frowning from time to time. About twenty minutes later, the woman said, "Wrong direction, turn left."

"That road is one-way," the driver explained.

"Drive on it," the woman insisted.

"There will be a fine and points deducted," the driver said impatiently.

"Drive on it, and I'll let you sleep with me."

"............" The driver.

The driver stopped the car, turned around, looked at the woman, and then at Zhou Ze.

The woman thought the driver hadn't understood and repeated, "Drive on it, and I'll let you sleep with me."

The driver pointed at her face.

Although she had short hair,

Although it wasn’t very bright at night,

Although the driver was a little old,

One could still tell,

That she was a female driver.

"Auntie, she's a woman," Zhou Ze reminded the woman beside him.

"Oh." The woman nodded and pointed at Zhou Ze beside her, "Drive on it, and he'll let you sleep with him."

"............" The female driver.

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

"Are you crazy?" The female driver opened the car door lock and urged, "Get out, get out!"

Was it easy to drive a *Didi* at night to earn some money?

She actually picked up a lunatic.

The woman heard this,

Frowned,

And stood up directly, reaching out and grabbing the female driver's neck.

"Ugh… ah..."

The female driver grabbed the woman's hand with both hands in pain, but the woman's strength was too great, and she couldn't break free at all.

"Master Si said that after reaching the top, let people help with things;

First, give money.

Second, let him sleep.

Third, take his life.

I don't have money now,

And you don't want to sleep with me,

So, I can only take your life,

Are you going to drive or not?"

Zhou Ze sat next to the woman, not intervening.

Honestly, it was rare to have an experience where he could "go undercover" without his identity being discovered. Boss Zhou hadn't enjoyed it enough. In the past, others could see through him at a glance, but he couldn't tell whether the other party was a living person or a ghost.

Moreover,

This woman's thinking and brain circuits,

Carried an exaggerated kind of naivety.

At least,

Compared to those guys Zhou Ze had encountered before from hell,

She was much cuter and more straightforward.

"I'll drive... I'll drive..."

The female driver immediately agreed.

The woman let go of her hand,

Sat back in her seat, and said:

"Turn in there."

The next moment,

The female driver immediately opened the car door,

Rushed out of the car,

And ran away without looking back, quickly disappearing into the green belt ahead.

The woman sat blankly in her seat,

Zhou Ze subconsciously reached out and touched the tip of his nose,

A dedicated crow didn't know to rest late at night, flying over the roof of the car,

"Caw... caw... caw... caw..."

A few fallen leaves were swept by the wind, flying past the car.

The woman frowned.

One could see,

That she was very angry.

Then,

She looked at Zhou Ze, "Can you drive?"

Zhou Ze nodded, got out of the car, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car.

Following the woman's directions, Zhou Ze began to drive towards the destination the woman wanted to go to.

After driving for another ten minutes,

Zhou Ze realized something was wrong,

Because this place was a little familiar.

It seemed like he had just been here recently.

At this time,

The car had already driven out of the city center and reached the town below. A glance at the road signs revealed that they were in the Guanyin Mountain Town area.

Could it be…

"Go down the road ahead, then pull over to the side."

The car stopped,

The woman got out of the car,

And Zhou Ze followed.

The two climbed over a dirt slope,

And an abandoned brick factory appeared in their sight.

Zhou Ze's gaze instinctively fell on the riverbank,

Where,

More than a dozen bodies had been dug up.

The woman walked down, and Zhou Ze followed.

The two came to the riverbank.

Because of the typhoons, rain, and wind recently, the riverbank, which had been dug up with potholes, showed little trace of what had occurred.

The woman looked at Zhou Ze and said:

"Help me dig."

"Huh?"

"I'll let you sleep with me; you help me dig here."

Zhou Ze really wanted to tell this woman that the bodies here had all been dug up.

Seeing that Zhou Ze didn't move, the woman thought that her second condition hadn't moved him, so she began to use the third condition,

"If you don't dig, I'll kill you."

"No, the bodies here have all been dug up. The police dug them up. More than a dozen bodies have been discovered and are now at the police station."

The woman paused when she heard this.

She was thinking,

Or rather,

She seemed to be recalling.

She kept muttering: "Master Si said, Master Si also said, Master Si again said, Master Si finally said…"

Who Master Si was,

Zhou Ze didn't know.

But this wandering soul possessed on the female corpse,

Was a bit like a simple-minded servant girl from Master Si's house,

Sent out to make purchases.

Like a child going out to buy seasonings for their mother, with a sign hanging on their chest, writing what they had to buy.

"Oh, I understand."

The woman squatted down,

Opened one hand,

And used her fingernail to cut open the palm of her hand, but blood didn't flow out easily.

The reason was simple.

Her corpse borrowing was different from that of a ghost messenger. It wasn't thorough. It seemed that she could completely control the body's actions, but in reality, the body hadn't been completely activated.

A corpse that had died and was placed in the morgue—it was obviously too much to ask for its blood to flow quickly again.

The woman raised her head, looked at Zhou Ze, and said:

"Blood, give me blood, give me blood. I'll let you sleep with me."

Zhou Ze licked his lips.

Was the next sentence going to be, "Give me blood, or I'll kill you?"

"Blood, give me blood, or I'll kill..."

Zhou Ze bit his fingertip and put it in front of the woman. Blood began to drip onto the woman's palm.

The woman smiled,

Seeming very satisfied with Zhou Ze's performance,

And at the same time replied:

"Very good. I'll let you sleep with me."

The woman began to draw a talisman in her palm with blood.

The talisman was very mysterious,

And began to slowly spread.

Fortunately, the woman didn't continue to ask Zhou Ze for blood, or Zhou Ze would have chosen to turn hostile directly.

Now,

Zhou Ze really wanted to see,

This woman,

And Master Si in the woman's words,

What roles did they play in this series of murders?

Were they sent by hell to solve this matter,

Or,

Were they the masterminds behind the scenes themselves!

The woman turned her palm down and pressed it against the muddy ground.

After a while,

A faint mist appeared nearby.

The mist began to condense into a point,

And the position of that point began to slowly turn red.

Zhou Ze noticed that the locations where the mist rose were all the corpse pits where the bodies had been buried.

In the end,

A glittering thing condensed at the position of that point,

It was,

That jade pendant with the baby face!!!

The woman looked at the jade pendant,

Frowned,

And said:

"Master Si is going to scold me. How come its color hasn't improved after sixteen years?"

Nonsense,

How could it improve?

Last week, its main body was destroyed by Zhou Ze in the bookstore!

The baby on the jade pendant weakly opened his eyes,

Habitually showing a sinister smile.

This seemed to be his signature move.

He first looked at the woman,

Then,

His gaze swept towards Zhou Ze.

The next moment,

The sinister smile on the baby face disappeared,

Replaced by a look of horror!

The woman was also stunned.

She turned her head,

Looking at Zhou Ze with a foolish expression,

And asked:

"Why,

Is the ghost jade,

Afraid of you?"

Zhou Ze lit a cigarette,

Exhaled a smoke ring,

Looked at the woman,

And said, "Give me this jade; I want to destroy it."

Its existence had harmed so many lives. Zhou Ze originally thought he had destroyed it, but it turned out that he had only destroyed its main body, but failed to destroy its "spirit."

The woman asked suspiciously,

"Why give it to you?"

"First, I don't have any money either;

Second, I don't want to sleep with you either;

So, there's only the third option,

If you don't give it to me,

I'll kill you."
