Chapter 18 "Let go!"

Zhou Ze roared.

"Let go!!!"

Zhou Ze continued to roar.

"Let me devour him; all his possessions will be yours!"

"Rattle, rattle..."

His right hand finally loosened its grip,

Whether as a result of an effective struggle,

Or because the other side had given up its obsession,

The sound of the silver coin falling was pleasing to the ear, crisp and clear. If a recording were made and put to a vote, it should be ranked as one of the most beautiful sounds in the world.

But with the silver coin's fall,

So too fell the Earth God's heart.

He knew,

He was screwed.

A takeout box with extra chicken drumsticks was beckoning to him from afar.

Watching the man before him walk toward him step by step, sealing off all avenues of escape, the Earth God completely despaired.

"Snap!"

His fingernails pinched the ball of green light,

Rubbing and kneading it,

As if examining a piece of plasticine, carefully playing with it.

The Earth God wanted to shout at Zhou Ze: If you want to eat me, then hurry up and eat me!

This process of waiting to be eaten is also a huge torment!

Zhou Ze opened his mouth,

Slowly putting it inside,

No need to chew,

Because when his two fangs touched the green glow, everything was completely torn apart, and then it turned into a taste similar to Master Kong Ice Green Tea,

Flowing into his throat.

"Hiss..."

Zhou Ze let out a low moan,

This kind of tremor, emanating from the depths of his soul, so comfortable to the extreme,

It was truly unforgettable.

"Boss, a cigarette!"

The old Taoist slid down from the slope at this time, landing directly in front of Zhou Ze.

However,

When the old Taoist got close to Zhou Ze,

He regretted it a little.

Some things, you can only truly understand how terrifying they are after you get close to them, just like watching a tiger in a cage and letting you go inside to see the tiger. There's not much difference in distance, but the feeling is definitely a world of difference.

"Cigarette…"

The old Taoist handed over the cigarette,

His teeth began to chatter,

But he still braced himself and continued:

"A cigarette after a meal is better than being a god."

Zhou Ze tilted his head slightly,

Looking at the old Taoist,

His gaze was slightly condensed,

The depths of his ink-black pupils swirled with a meaningful luster, making him unpredictable.

"Gulp…"

The old Taoist swallowed a mouthful of saliva,

Wanting to slap himself,

Damn it,

Did he want to be bitten by a zombie so badly that he'd gone crazy?

Had he gone crazy wanting to live forever?

Why did he come down in a fit of absentmindedness just now?

But there was nothing he could do,

Just like Western vampires, the higher the level of the vampire that bites you to create you, the higher your starting point will be. The old Taoist didn't want to be bitten by just any zombie and turn into a mindless idiot. He'd rather die a natural death.

Moreover,

The one in front of him, if there were no accidents, was the ancestor-level big boss in the zombie world,

The old Taoist used to be puzzled,

Why Yingying was so obediently subdued by the boss,

Was it Stockholm syndrome?

Now the old Taoist understood,

Even being screwed by the one in front of him was an honor for Yingying as a zombie!

"Whoosh..."

Zhou Ze blew out a breath,

The cigarette in the old Taoist's hand automatically ignited and burned out instantly.

"Hiss... hot, hot!"

The old Taoist quickly shook his hand. When he looked up at Zhou Ze again, he found that he was still looking at him with an inscrutable gaze.

"Gulp…"

Continuing to swallow a mouthful of saliva, the old Taoist stammered:

"Yes, smoking is bad, bad for your health."

Zhou Ze turned around and slowly sat down, seemingly no longer intending to pay attention to the old Taoist behind him.

Then,

The old Taoist only felt his whole body lighten, and the feeling of being stared at by thousands of poisonous snakes disappeared.

Immediately afterwards,

The old Taoist immediately went to look at Zhou Ze, only to find that Zhou Ze had closed his eyes, and even faint snores could be heard from his mouth and nose. He also habitually checked the boss's body, but found no exposed injuries.

He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad,

After all, compared to the gaze of that one just now,

The old Taoist still felt that his boss was more amiable.

Thinking back to when the boss had just learned to cheat, he had to lie in bed for a month every time afterwards, but now he was fine. There must have been some kind of change.

The old Taoist sighed,

Imagine if one day he woke up,

Only to find that the spot by the glass window was empty,

That the man wasn't reading the newspaper or drinking coffee, but just looking at him with that kind of gaze,

Just thinking about it made his hair stand on end.

"It's here, there was a very loud noise here just now!"

Not far away, there was suddenly a hubbub of voices, and the sound of police sirens could be heard from the road outside the forest.

The old Taoist had just carried Zhou Ze out of the pit and was preparing to go back down to pick up the gold and silver coins.

"Let's go, there's no time if we don't leave now."

Zhang Yanfeng took Zhou Ze and carried him on his back, urging the old Taoist.

"But..."

There was money down there!

With this money, he could care for so many fallen women and give them warmth,

He could let so many children out of the mountains.

"These are cultural relics!

They should be handed over to the country!"

Zhang Yanfeng said righteously.

He could already see figures in the distance. The old Taoist gritted his teeth, not daring to delay any longer, and ran out with Zhang Yanfeng.

The two returned to where they had parked, settled Zhou Ze in the back seat, and then sat in the front. Zhang Yanfeng quickly started the car and left.

"How are you going to close this case when you get back?" the old Taoist asked.

Could he possibly write in the closing statement, "The deceased angered the Earth God and was punished and killed by the Earth God"?

And then the Earth God wouldn't need to be arrested and interrogated,

Because the Earth God had been eaten by a big zombie.

"An accident on top of an accident, a suicide on top of a suicide." Zhang Yanfeng spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

"Got it."

The old Taoist yawned.

… … … … … …

When they returned to the bookstore, the old Taoist carried the boss in, only to find the little loli sitting behind the bar, still playing with playing cards.

"What's wrong with him?"

"He's drunk."

The old Taoist ignored the little loli and carried the boss upstairs. Yingying, who had originally been playing games in the bedroom, was also startled to see the boss being carried back.

But she was also experienced. While lifting the boss and placing him on the bed, she instructed the old Taoist to fetch monkey urine.

"Hehe, this time, he's fine."

The old Taoist rubbed his head and said.

Bai Yingying was stunned for a moment,

She opened Zhou Ze's clothes and carefully examined him from top to bottom, front to back, and indeed found no wounds.

But for some reason, Bai Yingying bit her lip even tighter.

To be honest, she seemed to prefer seeing a boss covered in blood and injuries being carried back than seeing the boss now, as if he were perfectly fine.

Because the old Taoist could sense the importance and specific meaning of this, Bai Yingying could naturally sense it as well.

"You take care of him first, I'll go downstairs and take a look."

The old Taoist told Yingying and went downstairs.

At the stairwell, he ran into the little loli who was coming up. The little loli ignored the old Taoist and walked upstairs on her own, pushing open the door to Zhou Ze's bedroom.

"Yo, you came back in one piece this time."

The little loli leaned against the door, chewing gum in her mouth.

"None of your business!"

"Of course I'm too lazy to care. You should be happy in your heart, right? You'll have a real sugar daddy to rely on in the future."

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the little loli's mouth.

Bai Yingying looked at her in confusion.

"I was wondering, what's with the Cold Clothes Festival that night, using bamboo as a bed and burning my flesh, hehehe."

The little loli waved her hand, showing a look of disdain,

"I only became a ghost messenger a few years ago, but Madam Bai has been a temple god here for two hundred years, braving the wind and rain. There are things that I can't see, but she should be able to see them, right?

Why didn't she entrust you to me when I was here?

Why did she wait until I went to Rongcheng

To entrust you to him?

A guy who at the time was just a temporary ghost messenger and no different from trash?"

The little loli remembered the night when Zhou Ze was holding the corpse pill,

Wanting to put it in his own mouth,

But then moving it to Bai Yingying's mouth,

Hesitating back and forth.

"Do you think everyone is like you, with only a utilitarian heart?" Bai Yingying retorted.

"Hehe, you can know a person's face but not their heart. How do I know what you're thinking?"

"I... have no heart."

I'm a zombie,

I have no heart.

The little loli walked to the bed, looked at Zhou Ze who was still sleeping soundly, took a deep breath, and said:

"Emmm...

There's no smell of blood at all,

Looks like,

It's really coming soon."

Saying that,

The little loli reached out and gently patted Bai Yingying on the shoulder,

"Actually, I believe you're sincere."

Bai Yingying's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Maybe fools get lucky."

Saying that, the little loli walked out of the bedroom. She didn't go downstairs but turned into the room next door.

On the bed,

Xu Niangniang was still unconscious,

Seeming to not intend to wake up and be an ostrich for the rest of her life.

The little loli spat out the gum in her mouth,

"Hey, if you don't wake up, do you know that your man will be gone?"

Xu Niangniang was unmoved.

"Hehe."

The little loli sat on the bedside table, looking at Xu Niangniang in her pajamas, especially the smooth, fair skin that made even women envious and frustrated.

"Tsk tsk, this beauty sleep is long enough."

Zhou Ze originally planned to use his fingernails to prick Xu Qinglang awake after he had recovered, but it had been delayed because of things that kept happening.

At this time, the old Taoist walked up with his dirty clothes. He was startled to see the little loli in the room.

"What are you doing here?"

The old Taoist was still very wary of the little loli.

"I wanted to try and see if I could wake him up."

"Wake him up? Hehe, give it up."

"Not necessarily, I heard that the average housing price in Tongcheng has dropped for the first time in ten years."

"Dropped?" The old Taoist was a little surprised, "How much did it drop?"

The little loli held up five fingers.

"It dropped five thousand? That's quite a price drop."

The little loli shook her head.

"Five hundred? That's useless."

The little loli continued to shake her head and said:

"It's fifty, fifty yuan, RMB."

The old Taoist: "(━┳━_━┳━)"

"Fifty is still quite a bit." The little loli pointed to Xu Qinglang, who was still unconscious on the bed, "Most of his houses are three bedrooms and one living room. If we calculate it at 130 square meters, and he has twenty-five apartments, with each square meter dropping by fifty, that means he's lost more than 160,000.

A car,

Has evaporated just like that."

As soon as the words fell,

Xu Qinglang, who had been unconscious for who knows how long,

His fingers suddenly trembled.
