Chapter 1072 An Actor's Dream

Over here, Deadpool was endlessly caught up in a "self-doubt" kind of nitpicking, while on the other side, after sending away that old lady, the others in the Late Night Bookstore simply washed up and went to sleep.

From top to bottom,

not a single person noticed that Deadpool was gone.

Even the old Daoist, who shared a room with Deadpool, didn't notice,

because Deadpool had always been very unnoticeable in the bookstore.

This made things difficult for the Qu brothers and sister. They couldn't report this to the police; reporting it might lead to a lot of unnecessary trouble, and raising Gu worms in a densely populated downtown area was also not something that could be made public.

But the problem was,

this guy couldn't be killed.

Even if his arm was removed, he could quickly recover.

Even if his neck was twisted completely around,

he could still snap it back.

Fortunately,

this guy's aggression wasn't very obvious. He had only been sneaking in and eating the worms, and even when Qu Zhenzhen attacked and injured him, intending to kill him, he didn't rush to retaliate after recovering.

However,

having such a guy staying in their house,

wasn't a good thing.

For Qu Mingming, the problem wasn't just worrying about the loss of his Gu worms; it was about getting rid of this plague god as soon as possible.

For a moment,

the somewhat helpless Qu Mingming turned his gaze across the road.

"Let's go to the bookstore and ask for help."

Qu Mingming said to his sister.

"This..."

Although she was unwilling and resistant, Qu Zhenzhen knew that this was the only option.

The reason for their resistance and unwillingness wasn't because the siblings had any prejudice against the bookstore. First, the people in that bookstore were too terrifying; second, the siblings felt a sense of guilt towards the bookstore because of what had happened last time.

Asking others for help at this time was really a bit shameless.

But,

they had to be shameless.

Qu Zhenzhen opened the window and jumped down, quickly running across the road and rushing to the bookstore. The door was locked, so Qu Zhenzhen could only knock.

After a while, the old Daoist, wearing a white robe and just out of the shower, walked over and opened the door while drying his hair.

"Oh, the internet cafe girl from across the street."

Although the Qu siblings felt guilty towards the bookstore, after all, that night Qu Zhenzhen had been controlled by that old man beforehand. Under the old man's threat, she chose to protect herself and didn't sacrifice herself to deliver a message to the bookstore.

But from the bookstore's perspective, it wasn't a big deal. In that environment, facing that level of old man, only Boss Zhou, after going berserk, could stand up to him; everyone else would just be delivering food.

It was unrealistic to expect a casual acquaintance to sacrifice their life for you.

"We have a monster in our house, we need your help."

Qu Zhenzhen pleaded with her head lowered.

"A monster?"

The old Daoist scratched his head.

At this time, the old Daoist very wisely didn't brag about his "glorious deeds" of fighting a certain demon five hundred years ago, but stroked his chin and pondered.

"Wait a moment, I'll go get someone to help you."

"You...aren't you going?"

Qu Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment.

In her mind,

the old Daoist was a transcendent expert.

He was one of the few living people in the bookstore.

To be precise,

when Qu Zhenzhen came to the bookstore to try to figure out its secrets, Lao Xu was also infected with corpse poison and almost became a zombie. At that time, the only living person in the bookstore was actually the old Daoist.

And during that test,

by chance,

the old Daoist had left a deep impression on Qu Zhenzhen's heart.

"Hmm...me going?"

The old Daoist continued to stroke his chin.

Having seen countless women, the old Daoist naturally could see that trace of admiration and worship in Qu Zhenzhen's eyes, although he didn't know where this admiration and worship came from.

But the old Daoist always insisted on following his heart,

just like when he was helping those fallen sisters, he always wanted to help more, but he often faced a situation where his heart was willing but his body was weak, and therefore had to stop and go home.

A person,

should have some self-awareness.

"This little character isn't worth my attention. I'll go up and find a disciple...cough, cough, a demon beast under my command, to help you deal with that monster."

"A demon beast, under your command?"

A clear and cold voice came from behind the old Daoist.

The old Daoist's body stiffened.

He turned his head,

and saw the little loli standing behind the counter.

"You, you, you...didn't you go to sleep?"

The old Daoist asked in astonishment.

Earlier, the boss and Yingying had gone into the bedroom, and the little loli had immediately finished her shower and went to sleep with them.

"A little thirsty, came down to pour a glass of water."

The little loli stared at the old Daoist, walking closer step by step, and asked:

"Who did you just say was your demon beast under command?"

"It's Deadpool, Deadpool, hahaha!"

The old Daoist laughed loudly.

The little loli ignored the old Daoist and looked at Qu Zhenzhen, "Monster?"

"Yes, a monster, an unkillable monster," Qu Zhenzhen said.

"Unkillable?" The little loli frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and asked, "Deadpool, where did he go?"

"Huh?"

The old Daoist was also slightly stunned.

That's right,

he hadn't seen Deadpool just now.

It's no wonder everyone didn't pay attention to Deadpool's existence,

would you always pay attention to where your mosquito coil is?

The little loli looked at the internet cafe across the street and smiled, "Go ahead."

The old Daoist scratched his head and agreed.

It seemed that,

the unkillable monster,

was likely to be the missing Deadpool.

This little rascal,

how did he run out without a sound?

Your dad doesn't care,

and of course your stepmoms around your dad wouldn't care.

The old Daoist originally wanted to follow directly, but after thinking about it, he decided to have Qu Zhenzhen wait a moment while he went in to change into a formal Daoist robe.

Wearing green cloud boots, carrying a peach wood sword on his back, a Bagua mirror on his chest, and a celestial crown on his head,

if he added a suitable and exciting BGM, it would be a cinematic scene of the main character's appearance.

The little loli drank some water behind the counter,

and coldly watched the old Daoist strike a pose in front of the internet cafe girl at the door.

She really wanted to remind the old Daoist,

that in general, the awesome Daoists or monks in ghost movies are all sloppy, the kind that makes you feel like they're awesome and hard to kill.

And those Daoists and monks who dress up like a bride going to get married are often cannon fodder who test the depths of demons,

a gorgeous appearance, followed by a tragic ending,

is basically their destiny.

"Girl, lead the way! Eliminating demons and protecting the world is the righteous duty of us righteous people!

We cultivators, what fear do we have of a battle!"

"Um...okay."

Qu Zhenzhen immediately went to lead the way,

although this path was very short,

because it was just across the street.

Under Qu Zhenzhen's lead, they pushed open the door to the third floor. The old Daoist, standing behind, silently took out a talisman from his crotch.

Just in case,

just in case,

although there was a high probability that Deadpool was playing tricks here,

what if it wasn't Deadpool?

The old Daoist knew that his Bagua mirror and outfit were all bought on Pinduoduo.

If they were useful, that would be the most shocking thing!

So, no matter what accidents happened, at least this talisman could hold on for a while. Anyway, the boss and the others were just across the street, and he could call out, and reinforcements would arrive immediately.

The door opened,

Qu Zhenzhen was stunned,

while the old Daoist had a look of surprise.

What surprised the old Daoist was,

wow, kakkakaka!

It really was Deadpool!

His roommate!

Nothing to be afraid of!

Qu Zhenzhen was shocked because her brother was actually sitting with Deadpool, constantly choosing Gu worms and feeding them to Deadpool.

Her brother was still smiling there.

"Brother?"

Qu Zhenzhen called out.

Qu Mingming looked up and saw his sister and the old Daoist behind her.

"What kind of demon dares to wreak havoc on the human world, eat my old Sun...eat my sword!"

The old Daoist, holding up the peach wood sword, directly stabbed at Deadpool.

Deadpool sat there blankly,

watching the old Daoist's peach wood sword touch his stomach.

He knew the old Daoist. When he saw the old Daoist, he even smiled and prepared to stand up.

The old Daoist immediately stepped forward, grabbed Deadpool's neck, and then dragged Deadpool backwards.

Deadpool thought the old Daoist was playing a game with him, and didn't resist. He was dragged backwards by the old Daoist.

"The demon has been subdued by me!"

The old Daoist roared.

Damn it,

so cool!

Especially when there's an audience, it's so cool!

Of course,

the coolest thing is that the demon is his roommate!

The old Daoist always had a heart to prove the Dao, but not the fate to do so, so he could only use this method to get his fill.

Well,

it would be easy for him to eliminate demons and defend the Dao,

there were a bunch of demons in the bookstore for him to fight,

but the problem was,

he didn't dare.

"This demon needs to be taken back for refinement! Ordinary objects can't kill him! I'll take my leave first!"

With that, the old Daoist dragged Deadpool out.

"Daoist, wait!" Qu Zhenzhen stopped the old Daoist, "Labor fee."

"Oh, no need, eliminating demons and protecting the Dao is my responsibility, it's not good to accept money.

Of course, if you really want to, you can go to the bookstore tomorrow morning and buy a few carts of books to read, just consider it incense money.

Also, stay here, don't see me off, it's not far, not far."

The old Daoist dragged Deadpool and hurried home.

After leaving the internet cafe, the old Daoist kept knocking on Deadpool's head:

"Your guts are getting bigger, sneaking out of the house by yourself! I'm telling you, there are many human traffickers outside now, be careful of being kidnapped to a mountain village to become a live-in son-in-law.

Just like your dad, useless."

"You're back."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The old Daoist was so frightened that his body began to spasm,

because the boss was actually not hugging Yingying in bed in the middle of the night,

but standing at the door of the bookstore.

"Boss, why aren't you sleeping?"

"I came down to have a smoke. I heard Lin Ke said Deadpool ran out, so I came to take a look."

"Oh, it's okay, Boss, I brought him back."

Deadpool looked at Zhou Ze and began to grin. Among the people in the bookstore, he was closest to Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze reached out and patted Deadpool's head, smiled, "Go back to rest, next time, without my permission, you are not allowed to leave the bookstore."

Deadpool nodded obediently and went upstairs.

The old Daoist also took the opportunity to sneak into the bookstore,

but soon,

Zhou Ze's voice rang out:

"I heard..."

"Boss, the national sanitary city has been successfully created! I specially read the news!!!"

The old Daoist immediately reported.

"Oh, that's not what I was talking about. Looking at yesterday's newspaper, it seems they're going to create a national civilized city again."

"Civilized city?" The old Daoist had a bad feeling. "What do you have to do for a civilized city?"

"Still have to clean up, right."
