Chapter 140 Can't Go Back

Zhou Ze's body was still swaying slightly, like a senile old man or a drunken sot, as if he could fall to the ground at any moment.

But the terrifying aura emanating from him possessed such an intense sense of oppression.

The female ninja tried to open the blue light barrier, wanting to leave this place. She and her three companions had painstakingly destroyed the restriction left by Cao Ding, but reality was so cruel.

She had finally escaped her original cage, only to enter an even larger and more solid one.

Zhou Ze slowly walked over, his figure still swaying slightly. As he approached, the expression on the female ninja's face became increasingly grave.

She didn't dare to attack Zhou Ze proactively, like someone who had accidentally fallen into a tiger's cage. Their first reaction would definitely be to climb out of the cage instead of foolishly fighting the tiger.

Zhou Ze was the tiger in the cage, ready to devour people.

Earlier, Zhou Ze had been thinking that it wasn't right for him, the boss, to just watch the show while the others in the bookstore were risking their lives outside, not even cheering them on.

Now,

it wasn't bad.

Zhou Ze had to thank the woman in front of him for giving him the opportunity to do something, so that he wouldn't be looked down upon by Xu Qinglang and the others after he left the mirror world.

"We can make a deal."

Every prey, before dying, would try every means to find a chance to escape. The female ninja was no exception.

"Before your death... you were just an ordinary person..."

The mockery on the corner of Zhou Ze's mouth grew stronger.

Yes,

five hundred years ago, when you were killed by Cao Ding, you were just ordinary Wokou (Japanese pirates), no matter how ferocious, you were still ordinary people.

Since you were ordinary people and have been suppressed here for five hundred years, what could you possibly have that would interest me?

The female ninja's face showed a pleading expression.

Zhou Ze approached step by step.

At this moment, the female ninja's figure disappeared from her original spot and instantly appeared behind Zhou Ze. In her hand was a black dagger, aimed directly at Zhou Ze's neck.

Everything happened in an instant.

"Pfft!"

The dagger pierced through!

The female ninja's face showed great joy.

Her sneak attack had actually succeeded!

He was so arrogant, thinking he had her all figured out!

The female ninja wanted to laugh at this moment, but she restrained her emotions, preparing to twist the dagger and cut off Zhou Ze's entire head.

But then she heard the sound of "creak, creak" as muscles rubbed against each other.

No matter how hard the female ninja exerted her strength, she still couldn't budge the dagger at all, because Zhou Ze's muscles and bones had directly clamped the dagger tightly, as if it were embedded in his body.

The female ninja's eyes narrowed, and she immediately chose to retreat.

"Snap!"

But then there was a crisp sound.

Zhou Ze turned his head.

Then,

the female ninja only felt herself flying up, with the sound of wind in her ears, a speed that was despairing.

"Bang!"

Zhou Ze grabbed the female ninja's neck with one hand and slammed her directly onto the ground, sliding for nearly a hundred meters at the same time!

"Ugh..."

A soft moan came from Zhou Ze's throat, like a prayer before a meal, thanking God for bestowing such abundant food.

The female ninja's body was trembling, not the trembling of facing an enemy. Even five hundred years ago, when she, as a female ninja, came to the coast of China with others, whether encountering Ming soldiers or the later Cao Ding, whether it was a victory or a defeat, she had never been afraid. What's more, the current her had five hundred more years of psychological experience than before.

But at this moment, she was truly experiencing a fear from the depths of her soul, because she felt that she was not facing a person, but a pressure from the food chain.

It seemed that she was his food, this sense of oppression, like a zebra encountering a lion in the middle of nowhere.

Zhou Ze's fingernails pierced into the female ninja's neck, and at the same time, the surrounding black mist began to squeeze down instantly.

Around them, there was the sound of a juicer operating, and in fact, that was exactly what it was.

Simple,

crisp,

brutal,

amazing,

and at the same time, somewhat shocking, daring not to look directly.

A wisp of green smoke rose up, and Zhou Ze raised his head, inhaling deeply.

The green smoke entered his nose,

bringing a great enjoyment,

like a pampered old lady, smoking a water pipe.

He smacked his lips,

licked his lips,

and then his body trembled slightly,

everything,

was comfortable.

The existence of a wraith, even if she had existed for five hundred years and had experienced special cooperation and conditioning with a priest, in Zhou Ze's eyes at this time,

wasn't it just a puff of smoke?

Slowly exhaling,

Zhou Ze slowly sat down.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on his forehead,

like an old man after a hearty meal, preparing to bask in the sun and take a nap.

About a quarter of an hour later,

Zhou Ze put his hand down.

In his eyes, there was still a strange green light flickering,

but the expression on his face was somewhat abnormal.

It was doubt,

it was incomprehension,

it was panic.

This kind of emotion appeared on him, somewhat unnatural. Back then, he had fought the Qingyi Niangniang (Green-Clothed Goddess) and then the Japanese priest. Then, in the Lin family, he had killed the problematic ghost servant who had possessed his sister-in-law, and then in Yancheng, he had annihilated two ghost servants in one fell swoop.

It seemed that his appearance often meant that no matter what the situation around him,

it had all come to an end.

But at this time,

he was really a little confused.

"How... can't I go back?"

Zhou Ze murmured to himself, as if thinking about this question. But at this time, he wasn't very good at thinking, like a sleepy person waking up halfway, relying entirely on his blurred consciousness.

Getting out of bed,

finding a spittoon,

unbuttoning his pants,

turning on the faucet,

and then lying back down to continue sleeping.

Maybe the next day, if someone asked him, he wouldn't even be sure if he had gotten up and peed.

Zhou Ze raised his head,

his eyes filled with terror.

He stretched out his finger,

pointed to the sky,

then clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the ground.

He understood.

"This time it's consciousness... the body isn't here... it's over... the body can't hold on anymore..."

………………

"So, your boss turns into this every time he 'goes berserk'?"

The little loli stared at Zhou Ze's body from the side and asked strangely.

"Yeah, normal operation, nothing to worry about."

Bai Yingying seemed very calm. The boss's body would have some problems every time after going berserk, and he would be paralyzed for half a month. She was already used to it.

Moreover, Bai Yingying actually liked the way the boss was when he was paralyzed, because she could take care of him in every way, including giving him a bath. That was when the boss was the cutest and needed her the most.

"Cough, cough..."

Xu Qinglang coughed from the side, while taking out a wet towel to wipe the old Daoist's face. The old Daoist was still unconscious and hadn't woken up.

The little loli continued to stare at Zhou Ze, although she didn't know what Zhou Ze was going through in his dream, the changes in Zhou Ze's body at this time were enough to make her very interested.

A quarter of an hour later, the little loli pointed to the position of Zhou Ze's right arm and asked, "Is this also normal?"

"Normal," Bai Yingying said without raising her head.

The boss's body would have many wounds, which was a manifestation of the body being overloaded.

"Are you sure?"

The little loli pointed to the position of Zhou Ze's elbow.

The bone in that area was already exposed, the flesh was torn open, and the exposed white bone had actually begun to turn black. This was a sign of the corpse's decay, meaning that the nutrients inside the bone were rapidly losing, and it would soon return to dust.

How did that song go?

"Turning into spring mud, caring for the earth..."

The little loli had no doubt that if Zhou Ze were thrown into the courtyard at this time, a very lush plant should grow there next year when they swept the tomb.

She could also take the opportunity to plant a loquat sapling. That way, she could write a diary later:

"There is a loquat tree in the courtyard, which I planted by hand in the year my constable died. Now it is tall and towering."

Turning her head, she saw Bai Yingying not taking it seriously at all.

The little loli once doubted whether she was overthinking things?

Or was Zhou Ze's vitality so strong?

Judging by the looks of it, this happened often before.

But this was going in the direction of being able to recover even if turned to ashes.

Although everyone was a ghost,

you had to be a little scientific, right?

So, the little loli walked to Bai Yingying's side, stretched out her tender hand, grabbed Bai Yingying's face, and brought her face to the position of the blackening white bone on Zhou Ze's arm:

"I'll struggle one last time. If he can recover as before and continue to be alive and kicking even like this, from now on, I'll serve him tea, deliver water, wash his feet, and warm his bed!"

If he could recover as before even in this state,

this kind of constable, this kind of boss,

what would it matter if she held her nose and accepted it?

Bai Yingying suddenly felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then she opened her mouth.

She subconsciously reached out and touched the exposed bone on the boss.

"Snap!"

The bone actually caved in.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Bai Yingying began to scream.

Xu Qinglang, who was still wiping the old Daoist's face, was so frightened by this that his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering it on the old Daoist's face.

He was really scared into bleeding!

The feeling of a zombie suddenly screaming behind you was not something ordinary people could withstand.

"Boss, Boss!"

Bai Yingying knelt next to Zhou Ze and shouted hoarsely, but she didn't dare to touch Zhou Ze again, for fear that if she touched Zhou Ze anywhere, that place would collapse.

The little loli breathed a sigh of relief.

Her persistence was right.

This was normal. Even a judge couldn't do this.

Then,

the little loli tilted her head, staring at Zhou Ze, her fingers gently crossed, a little tangled.

She was thinking,

if Zhou Ze just kicked the bucket in his sleep,

she wouldn't be at a loss, right?

Not at a loss, not at a loss,

really not at a loss.
