Chapter 1 Driving in Deep Fatigue

The old Taoist felt like he was in a state of deep fatigue driving,

Dark circles were starting to appear around his eyes, and he was basically maintaining the same expression,

Just numbly seeing a car in front, signaling, overtaking, signaling back;

Seeing a red light ahead, stopping, waiting.

All the actions were just a kind of instinctive mode, basically without thinking.

This kind of driving state is actually very dangerous,

Many accidents happen in this state.

The monkey was lying on the old Taoist's lap, asleep; it was also tired.

The old Taoist looked in the rearview mirror,

The boss had already fallen asleep on Bai Yingying's shoulder,

Yingying was gently stroking the boss's hair with one hand,

Like she often did for the monkey, helping the boss pick out lice.

In the passenger seat,

Attorney An was sleeping soundly,

Drool was flowing out,

Completely without any image.

His snoring was so loud that it completely drowned out the engine's sound, which was terrifying.

Attorney An cherished this rare opportunity to enjoy the air conditioning,

He even brought a pillow and eye mask with him,

Like it was Chinese New Year.

The old Taoist lit a cigarette, trying to keep himself awake, and continued driving.

The last location of Lu Laosan's phone number had been determined. The boss didn't plan to let the police get involved in this operation, and Zhang Yanfeng wasn't allowed to come along either.

It was impossible for the little loli to have been trafficked,

But in the face of the established reality,

It could only mean one thing: something had happened to the little loli.

Waiting for police assistance would take time, and the police's actions would be constrained by many things. It would be better for them to take action themselves.

Finally, as the sky gradually darkened, the boss woke up.

After waking up,

Yingying massaged him and handed him water,

And kept saying how hard the boss worked,

Saying that he must be uncomfortable sleeping in the car.

"Boss?" The old Taoist tried to call out.

"Hmm?" Zhou Ze responded.

"There are only thirty li left to that location. Do you want to drive for a while?"

The old Taoist was really tired and sleepy.

"There are only thirty li left? Just finish it."

"............" The old Taoist.

After driving for a while,

The old Taoist was so tired that he said,

"Boss, I can barely keep my eyes open."

"Then drive with your eyes closed; it's okay."

"............" The old Taoist.

That's right,

Anyway, if there was a car accident,

Of the people in the car, he, the driver, was the most likely to die.

A few more minutes passed,

"Boss............ Wuwuwu............ This poor Taoist really can't drive anymore."

"This, only you can drive."

"Why, boss?"

"You have a connection with those human traffickers."

"Uh............"

Although he felt that this sounded a bit strange, it also seemed to make sense.

As soon as he got out of prison, he went to drink with those human traffickers, acting like brothers.

"But, boss, if we drive further, there won't be any specific markers. There's a small town ahead. I don't even know where to drive."

"Just drive around randomly."

There was something Zhou Ze didn't say explicitly,

Which was that they trusted the old Taoist's ability to attract trouble.

The old Taoist helplessly nodded and continued driving forward.

This small town was located on the edge of a mountain. The town was quite large. After the old Taoist drove into the town, he watched both sides while carefully watching the pedestrians on the road.

The monkey was also woken up by the old Taoist,

The little monkey was趴 (pa) on the car window,

Twitching its nose from time to time,

It was also helping to search.

Attorney An opened his eyes reluctantly and stretched,

Comfortable,

It was so damn comfortable.

After yawning,

Attorney An was even thinking about whether he should go to the wilderness to catch a zombie to sleep with him?

But after thinking about it,

The zombies in the wild are so dirty and disgusting,

How could he sleep with that?

This kind of cute and considerate maid-style zombie,

He had only seen this one in his life.

Alas,

Envy.

"Do you want to eat something?" Attorney An asked.

"Keep looking; don't waste time." Zhou Ze rejected the suggestion.

Wang Ke wasn't brought along. Zhou Ze told him to rest assured that his daughter would be fine, and then forced him to go back.

But now,

If something really happened to the little loli, leading to something happening to Wang Rui, he really wouldn't be able to explain it to Wang Ke.

The car continued to drive slowly forward,

It was almost out of town. There was a gas station ahead, and behind the gas station was a waste recycling station.

"Fill it up, boss."

The old Taoist drove the car into the gas station to refuel.

Everyone in the car got out to stretch their muscles after sitting in the car for a day.

"Next time, we should buy a motorhome. It would be more convenient to do things."

Attorney An said.

Zhou Ze nodded, agreeing with him.

"Should we notify the local ghost messengers?" Zhou Ze asked.

In the past, he had encountered situations where he crossed the boundary and was attacked by local ghost messengers.

And the Buddhist ghost messengers like those in Changzhou were rare in other places.

"It's okay; we'll come and go quickly. We're here to find someone, not to cause trouble."

Attorney An habitually wanted to take out a cigarette and light it, but he refrained, seeing that this was a gas station.

"If any ghost messengers in the area sense us and come over, I'll be responsible for communicating."

"Boss, do you have any money on you?"

The old Taoist ran over and asked.

The old Taoist still had his talisman stuck to his chest, and his eyes were "watery," likely from applying bull's tears mixed with talisman water.

It had to be said that after experiencing some things, the old Taoist's self-protection awareness had greatly increased.

However, he had just gotten out, hadn't gotten a phone, and didn't have any money in his pocket.

Attorney An took out some money from his wallet and gave it to the old Taoist, while pointing to the convenience store in the gas station, saying, "Go buy some water and bread."

"Okay!"

The old Taoist went to pay and buy things.

Zhou Ze found a clean place to sit down, and Yingying stood behind Zhou Ze, helping him massage his shoulders.

"Actually, there's one thing we need to be careful about. Something must have happened to Lin Ke. The factors that caused her problems might also be useful to us."

"Hmm."

Zhou Ze thought of that temple in Changzhou,

When the bell rang,

Both he and Attorney An painfully collapsed to the ground.

The world is so big; there are all kinds of wonders. There are too many things that have a restraining effect on ghosts. Although they are ghost messengers, they are actually just bigger ghosts.

"Don't run!!!"

The old Taoist's shout suddenly came from the gas station,

Followed by the sound of breaking glass.

The little monkey immediately raised its head and darted over there. The entire Late Night Bookstore cared about the old Taoist's safety the most.

And Zhou Ze and Attorney An exchanged glances,

Both saw a look of shock in each other's eyes,

Damn,

This old Taoist is too useful!

When everyone rushed into the gas station's convenience store, they saw the old Taoist lying under a shelf, with two bewildered gas station employees standing next to him.

Attorney An reached out and lifted the shelf, letting the old Taoist crawl out.

"I saw him; I saw him! That hunchback ran to the back door; he ran!"

The old Taoist shouted, pointing at the back door of the gas station.

Zhou Ze immediately rushed over, but found that the door was locked, and locked from the inside.

How could this be?

Without time to think too much, Zhou Ze directly snapped the lock with his fingernails, pushed open the door, and rushed out.

Yingying followed behind Zhou Ze, never leaving her boss's side.

Behind the gas station was a field,

Beyond the field was the waste recycling station.

Zhou Ze looked around and finally decided to chase forward.

The two of them passed through the field and walked to the entrance of the waste recycling station.

Inside,

There was no one in sight, empty,

And,

There wasn't even a light.

"Boss, there's a smell."

Yingying reminded him.

Zhou Ze nodded, indicating that he smelled it too.

It was the smell of blood.

The two of them entered the waste recycling station together, not daring to be too reckless, and instead looked around carefully as they walked.

They both had zombie physiques and were extremely sensitive to human blood. It was impossible for them to confuse the smell of human blood with the smell of animal blood.

The closer they got to the shanty house in the waste recycling station, the stronger the smell of blood became.

Pushing open the door,

The rich smell was even more pungent,

Because the weather was still very hot, there were many flies and bugs.

Inside,

There was a water tank,

A woman was lying upside down in the water tank,

Her body was in an extremely distorted form,

Her upper body and lower body were twisted like Tianjin mahua.

The woman's head was in the water tank, and her hair was scattered, making the water in the water tank murky.

And in the middle of the room,

An old hunchback was kneeling on the ground,

His feet were sunk into the ground,

Hunched over,

Kneeling there,

His whole body was covered in bloody wounds, and countless flies were partying around him.

In the room,

There were only these two corpses, no one else.

Moreover, this place seemed to have been deliberately cleaned, not at all dirty.

Even the blood flowing from the hunchback was deliberately wiped clean, leaving only the most exquisite side.

At this time,

Attorney An and the old Taoist also chased over and entered the room.

When he saw the hunchback's body,

The old Taoist was startled,

And immediately shouted:

"Boss, did you kill them?"

Looking again at the woman's twisted posture, the old Taoist felt even colder in his heart.

When did his salted fish boss become so ruthless?

This was chasing the style of his former boss.

"The people have been dead for some time."

Attorney An said.

"Dead for some time?" The old Taoist immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible! I just saw this hunchback at the gas station. I pounced over to catch him, but I couldn't catch him, and instead压 (ya) myself under the shelf."

Zhou Ze suddenly remembered the locked door from the inside when he chased out of the back door of the gas station,

Understood,

And immediately said:

"Perhaps, what you saw in the gas station earlier wasn't a person."

"Not a person, then what is it?"

"It's a ghost."
