Chapter 18 "Open Eye!"

"Open Eye!"

Yueya's left pupil was momentarily covered in white, and her entire demeanor changed drastically.

Of course,

this only lasted for less than ten seconds.

Then,

her body staggered again,

but this time she was smarter, proactively leaning towards Zhou Ze. She was genuinely temporarily exhausted and needed Zhou Ze to support her.

Zhou Ze, however, took a step to the side.

"Thump..."

Yueya fell to the ground again,

for a moment,

speechless.

"What did you see?"

This woman's ability should be the kind of eye that can see through illusions, because the moment she shouted "Open Eye," Zhou Ze felt the playing card in his clothes tremble, and his aura concealment was almost broken.

Yueya frowned as she got up from the ground, gave Zhou Ze a resentful glance, and said in a deep voice,

"In the classroom to the left ahead, there's an unrecognizable guy beating his meat, and he's not shooting white stuff anymore; he's constantly shooting blood."

Zhou Ze remembered reading a short story about shooting blood, about a king during the Spring and Autumn period who was particularly fond of women. He overdosed on aphrodisiacs, lost control, and started spurting blood, eventually bleeding to death.

"In the classroom to the right ahead, Zheng Qiang is sitting there, his body slowly withering, his eye sockets sunken, like…"

Yueya bit her lip, but still voiced her guess,

"Overdosing on drugs."

Zhou Ze frowned. A ghost messenger, also affected?

"Across the way at the entrance of the building, Li Sen is standing there, his body starting to show extensive burns."

"What about Gu He?"

What about the precinct chief who told everyone to come and get rich together?

"Couldn't find him." Yueya shook her head.

Boss Zhou was speechless. He really should have shamelessly let the little loli take his place in this event.

Of course, beforehand, no one expected that Boss Zhou's first response to his superiors' call since becoming a ghost messenger would lead him to a deadbeat leader.

Now, of the four ghost messengers, two were hit.

He had three choices before him:

One was to save them,

two was to find that "ghost" and eliminate it,

and three was to turn around and leave.

Zhou Ze was more inclined towards the third option, but he found it difficult to choose it because this was Tongcheng. It would be one thing not to know, but if he knew and deliberately evaded doing anything, any outrageous things the "ghost" did next would be his responsibility.

Yueya, as if sensing his thoughts, immediately said, "I'm preparing to leave. Something's changed here. The precinct chief has disappeared; that's not normal."

She could leave; she wasn't a Tongcheng ghost messenger.

"Can you leave?" Zhou Ze asked.

"What?"

As soon as Yueya finished speaking, she saw a strange black shadow suddenly attacking her.

She immediately waved her palm, and dozens of silver needles covered the area around her feet, centered on her. The black shadow circled around, unable to penetrate.

Black shadows also attacked Zhou Ze's feet. Boss Zhou's nails grew out and pierced directly into the floor, the black mist dispersed, forming a barrier that blocked the outer shadows.

The two sides were deadlocked for a long time.

Finally,

the black shadow retreated.

Yueya bent down, waved her hand on the ground, and retracted the needles stuck in the ground.

Zhou Ze also pulled out his nails.

If that thing only had these means, if the two of them were careful, it wouldn't be a big problem.

It was painful, very painful.

Boss Zhou wasn't someone who worried about the world before anyone else,

As long as he could lie on the sofa every day, drinking coffee and basking in the sun, he wouldn't care even if the floods were raging outside the window, but this matter was closely related to his own interests, so Zhou Ze couldn't help but care.

Walking forward a distance, Zhou Ze first turned into the classroom on the right.

Zheng Qiang was sitting there with a look of intoxication, just as Yueya had described.

Zhou Ze reached out and touched Zheng Qiang.

In an instant,

Zhou Ze's eyes were also filled with swirling mist.

In the mist,

Zhou Ze saw Zheng Qiang sitting on the sofa, surrounded by beauties, demons dancing wildly, while Zheng Qiang was constantly inhaling the white smoke from a smoking pipe.

Such a method of smoking,

Even an elephant wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Moreover,

Perhaps it was because he was an observer, Zhou Ze saw that the men and women around Zheng Qiang were all just skeletons. Their heads looked like they had been eaten by insects, with holes everywhere, even more terrifying than a honeycomb.

Zhou Ze was a doctor in his previous life, and he knew that some specific drugs, if inhaled, could cause great damage to the brain, and it was irreversible damage.

The more addictive a drug is, the greater the damage it causes to the body. There are countless people who become vegetables after smoking too much, and those who have the opportunity to be sent to drug rehabilitation centers are actually lucky.

But Zheng Qiang enjoyed it, and didn't even notice Zhou Ze's appearance, continuing to indulge in his greatest addiction from his previous life.

Sure enough,

if you could rely on ghost messengers on the roadside, sows would be able to climb trees.

Although he was just a ghost messenger himself, Zhou Ze still felt that he was losing face doing missions with a group of rookie ghost messengers.

Even if he didn't participate in this matter, he could go back and discuss it with the little loli and Lawyer An, and then take a step-by-step approach, which would be much better than these deadbeat teammates sending themselves to their deaths one by one.

But there was no way around it now, these pig-like teammates,

he still had to save.

Even if he had a few more cannon fodder around him, at least they could attract some attention, right?

Zhou Ze's nails grew out,

constantly waving,

the skeletons in front of him were shattered one by one by Zhou Ze,

but Zheng Qiang still didn't seem to see anything, continuing to indulge in his greatest addiction from his previous life.

Zhou Ze stepped forward and smashed the pipe in Zheng Qiang's hand.

Zheng Qiang was stunned, staring at Zhou Ze with bloodshot eyes, and let out a roar. Thorns appeared on his body, like a hedgehog, and then he roared and charged towards Zhou Ze.

For addicts, anyone who stops them from doing drugs, even their parents, wives, and children, are their greatest enemies!

Zhou Ze's nails brushed against the thorns on the other party's body, making a clanging sound like metal colliding. For a moment, many of the thorns on the other party's body pierced into Zhou Ze's body.

It hurt so much that Boss Zhou shivered.

And in Zhou Ze's body,

that huge blood-colored "seal" character,

began to tremble slightly at this time.

"Come on… unleash the seal… you need my power!"

That consciousness was calling to Zhou Ze:

"Ghost messengers… are just… my… food!"

"Get lost!"

Zhou Ze roared.

The next moment,

Boss Zhou's ten nails quickly grew long, turning into scythe-like curves. He crossed his arms in front of him and pushed forward.

Finally, he blocked Zheng Qiang,

then,

Zhou Ze's ten nails thrust forward together,

Zhou Ze didn't choose to stab the guy's chest directly, but chose to stab his arms.

"Pfft!"

Intense pain struck,

and the surrounding smoke began to dissipate.

Zhou Ze looked down and saw that there were many needle-like holes in his body. Although the injuries weren't serious, they really hurt.

And Zheng Qiang, who was originally sitting in his seat, had blood gushing from his arms.

He opened his eyes in confusion and looked at Zhou Ze, then looked around,

while trying to stop the bleeding, he asked,

"What… what's going on?"

…………

Yueya didn't follow Zhou Ze. Everyone had died once, so they knew better how to cherish their lives. At the same time, that instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages was ingrained in their bones.

It's not because they understand life that they cherish life.

It's because hell is too terrifying, and it's better to live in the mortal realm!

This isn't cowardice.

This gathering was originally with the attitude of getting a sip of soup to drink. It wasn't happening in their own jurisdiction, so why risk their lives for it?

Plus, that bastard from Tongcheng,

made her fall on the ground twice,

so she was even less likely to help him!

However,

when Yueya had just run up the stairs to the third floor, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the stairs on the third floor.

This person,

was Gu He.

"Why are you leaving?"

Gu He looked up at Yueya on the stairs.

"If this ghost isn't eliminated, it will cause endless harm."

As he said this,

Gu He began to walk up the stairs.

"Precinct Chief, you?"

Yueya didn't know why, but a sense of fear suddenly arose in her heart, and she began to retreat subconsciously.

Before, Zhou Ze had said to her, do you think you can still leave?

She hadn't taken it to heart,

but now,

she suddenly felt that

Zhou Ze's words might have had a deeper meaning.

"This is our ghost messengers' responsibility. I chased it from Hangzhou to Wuxi, Suzhou, then to Huaian, and finally to Tongcheng. This time, I can't let it run away again.

Look,

how many people it has killed."

Gu He was walking up,

Yueya was retreating.

"That's not right, why would you be here? You couldn't have arrived so late! What are you plotting, Precinct Chief!"

No one is a fool.

Before, Zheng Qiang was able to analyze that Gu He was deliberately feeding the ghost kills to harvest them for himself.

"No, really no."

Gu He continued to walk up step by step,

and then,

he stopped.

Yueya was stunned,

the next moment,

Gu He suddenly appeared behind her,

one hand directly choking her neck, lifting her up.

Yueya opened her mouth,

but Gu He's other hand directly blocked Yueya's mouth.

Then,

Gu He withdrew his hand,

his entire palm was already densely covered with steel needles.

"I just wanted this ghost to create more sins, to send a few more kills. Since ordinary people have already been sent, why can't we send a few more ghost messengers?

Then,

capturing it,

the merit points and rewards will be even greater."

Gu He stuck out his tongue and licked Yueya's earlobe,

"So, please don't run, cooperate with me properly, and maybe, I can let you drink some soup, because there is actually someone above who escaped.

What a bunch of,

inconsiderate subordinates,

can't you understand the hard work of being a leader?"

"Open Eye!"

Yueya's left eye was instantly covered in a white light,

and then,

her entire face was ashen,

because if Gu He really only intended to do this to obtain merit points, she was confident that she could still have room for negotiation, at most, she would exchange other things with Gu He, it was just a matter of trading benefits.

But just now,

she clearly saw,

on Gu He's forehead,

a black "greed" character appeared!

The precinct chief who issued the call for this operation,

had actually been controlled by this ghost

as early as in Hangzhou!
