Chapter 706 Picking Feet
Officer Chen turned her head and saw the figure of the old man in the distance again.
The old man's back was much more hunched than before, not as straight as before, and behind him, black smoke kept rising.
"Why are you back again?"
Officer Chen asked.
She was still lying on the road at this time, but this area was now shrouded in something similar to smog, and no one would notice it.
Even ordinary, slightly more powerful demons could create such a scene. For the old man in front of her, it was even easier.
Moreover, he was different from ordinary demons; he himself was proficient in things like formations, and setting up barriers was his specialty.
"Can't you tell?"
The old man's voice was a little tired. He walked to Officer Chen's side,
Reached out and scratched the back of his back,
"I don't know which big shot was disturbed, and even made a special move against me, like a demonstration and a warning, cutting off some of my things."
"It wasn't me."
"I know it wasn't you. You've been pretending to be blind for so long, how could you just make a move like this?"
The old man sat down.
At this time, he
looked more like a poor man at the end of his rope.
However,
Officer Chen knew that these were just appearances.
The old man might have suffered some blows, but it had nothing to do with being "at the end of his rope."
The reason why he showed this demeanor might just be to have some fun, or he disdained being "spirited" in front of someone he looked down on.
"Didn't you say you were going to take revenge, find that bookstore?"
The old man nodded. "Yes, I was halfway there, and then I came back."
"Came back?"
"It sounds like you're familiar with that bookstore?" the old man looked at Officer Chen and asked.
Officer Chen didn't answer.
"I see, the noble Dharma Beast, why would you suddenly come here and be so close to a police officer from the bookstore below? Heh, I should have guessed it long ago.
I'm just curious, who was it that killed me last time?"
"You don't know?"
"I really don't know. I only know that I've come here many times and left many times. There have been too many times, so it's easy to get confused. I feel like I'm not human."
I feel like I'm not human.
This was what the old man said, pointing at his own nose.
It was clearly an insult, but he said it as a matter of course.
"Perhaps, I really am not a person. If I were a person, how could I not die?
It doesn't matter anymore. I really don't remember exactly how I died last time. I only remember that the bookstore is my final destination."
"You think I'll tell you something?"
"I don't expect you to tell me anything, really.
You people are high above, looking down on all living beings, worshiped by all living beings;
In your eyes, something like me is no different from the hooligans on the street.
Like a pile of dog shit, you think it's smelly and dirty, so you don't bother to pay attention to it."
"You still haven't told me why you came back again?"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten to death again.
Being beaten to death doesn't really matter, anyway, I can't die, but I come back muddle-headed, and then I go to that bookstore muddle-headed, and then I die again, again and again. I'm not afraid of now,
I'm afraid that in the future, I'll be stupidly running to that bookstore to die every time. Alas, not being able to die is already painful enough, and I have to go through the same reincarnation every time. How boring would that be?
Originally, I thought I had new means. This time, if nothing unexpected happened, I should be a little stronger than last time, but those lines were cut off by some terrifying existence underground, which means that many of my previous arrangements and plans have been shelved.
I even think, is the background of that bookstore very terrifying?"
Officer Chen's eyes revealed a look of contemplation. The reason why she came here and entered this body was actually to investigate the disappearance of her avatar in Tong City.
After investigating, the only thing worth paying attention to was that bookstore.
It was undeniable that the bookstore was indeed a bit strange, and the owner was not an ordinary ghost messenger, but she believed that the disappearance of her Tong City avatar and the other party were unlikely to have an absolute connection.
That boss was not a match for her avatar; at the very least, he couldn't really destroy her avatar.
At the same time, she believed that the one who destroyed her avatar and the one who killed the old man last time should be the same person.
"You now?"
"The line is broken, the plan is shelved, and taking the initiative is impossible. I can only wait for the rabbit."
The old man pointed to the hospital next to him and said:
"This is the origin of my appearance this time. I hope this can be my end this time. Of course, I don't necessarily lose.
Giggle giggle!!!!"
The old man suddenly twitched,
He didn't return to normal until a long time later,
A happy smile appeared on his face, looking old and gratified:
"Hahaha, my apprentice really misses his master, so enthusiastic!"
The old man lowered his head and looked at the position of his chest,
Too enthusiastic,
That avatar,
It's probably been stabbed to pieces.
"Why did they come?"
From what Officer Chen knew about the bookstore, they seemed very lazy…
"Because many people in that bookstore, and a few animals, had their eyes covered by me.
It's hard for me to explain to you, oh no, someone like you should also understand that this world is divided into yin and yang, but there are also several other faces.
In modern scientific terms, it's called spatial dimensions.
I locked them in,
I originally wanted to torture them to death slowly,
But now those lines have been cut off by someone underground,
I can't kill them,
But they can't think of coming out either,
Unless,
I die."
"A very clichéd drama."
"Yes, to save friends, take the initiative to find the devil for a one-on-one fight."
Saying that,
The old man reached out and put his hand on Officer Chen's thigh. There was no disrespectful action, just placed it on it,
"Only within the scope of this hospital can I continue to have the ability to cover other people's eyes. Now that I'm far away, I can't do it.
So, I had to turn back halfway.
Another reason is…
I can't let you go!"
Saying that,
The old man reached out and grabbed the horn on Officer Chen's chest,
And pulled it out directly.
Officer Chen let out a muffled groan,
Her body trembled,
"See!"
A small half of the horn in the old man's hand had melted.
"Alas, I really can't understand you high-ranking figures. This can't trap you, really, headache.
Forget it,
Let me set up a formation to suppress you for a while.
I can't destroy you either. Here, I can still block your main body's perception of you, but if I destroy you, there will probably be several more avatars coming over immediately.
You big shots, why do you all like to pretend to be blind when you have such strong abilities?"
The old man patted his head helplessly:
"I don't understand, I really don't understand.
It seems like there's a movie about spider demons,
There's a line like this:
With great power comes great responsibility.
But when it comes to you, the greater the power, the more you can pretend to be blind.
Like this hospital,
You can ask the old man at the small supermarket at the entrance of the hospital, the vendors on the snack street opposite the hospital, and even the old grandma who is still working in the cardboard factory next to the hospital.
They all know what kind of virtue this hospital is. Isn't the so-called magnetic therapy just xx?
Most people know it, and many people even say it's an xx den when they talk about this hospital.
But it's useless,
It's still open here,
There are still advertisements everywhere,
Still on TV,
Still being interviewed,
Still being affirmed.
Don't you think it's funny?
Tsk tsk tsk,
Dharma Beast, you are a smart person. Your wisdom spans from ancient times to the present.
Those who can sit on top are all smart people.
Smart people can't see the problems that even the little fish and shrimp at the bottom can see?"
The old man grabbed his hair hard,
"Actually, I'm also desperate. I'm not angry that you're pretending to be blind, but I'm angry that if you continue to pretend to be blind like this,
I have to go through life and death again,
I'm lamenting myself,
My life is bitter."
………………
Zhou Ze saw Xu Qinglang constantly stabbing his master,
His master's expression changed from surprise to astonishment and then from astonishment to gratification,
Like his child had finally grown up.
After stabbing,
The master turned into ashes,
Fell to the ground,
But the cart he pushed was still there, and the paintings on the cart were still there.
Zhou Ze walked out and asked:
"Is it an avatar?"
He remembered that when he met the old man last time,
The old man had almost several avatars, beating up the people in the bookstore on several fronts at the same time.
"Yes."
Xu Qinglang nodded. He had actually seen it a long time ago, so he stabbed its avatar to pieces without any scruples, venting his anger.
Zhou Ze walked to the cart, picked up the paintings inside, and unfolded them.
In the first picture, a white fox was kneeling in front of a coffin, kowtowing, blood flowing like a river.
In the second picture, a little monkey was being bitten on the head by a three-legged baby, extremely painful.
Xu Qinglang also walked over and opened the paintings to view them together.
In the following paintings,
There was the figure of a Death Servant standing at the entrance of a church with countless blades inserted into his body,
There was a Black Lass planting herself in the ground with an old woman watching with a smile,
There were also Zheng Qiang, Crescent Moon, and others.
"What does this mean? Are they locked up?" Zhou Ze asked.
"It should be similar to being sealed."
"Leaving us alone?"
Zhou Ze believed that sealing so many people silently, he asked himself that it would be difficult for him to escape. Of course, as for whether he could be sealed, Boss Zhou still had the confidence to challenge it.
"Either something went wrong with him and he had to stop when he got to us.
Or he deliberately left us a few until the end, not wanting us to die so simply.
Oh, by the way, do you recognize the hospital in this painting?"
Xu Qinglang held up the painting,
In the painting was an old man, standing at the gate of the hospital, with the words "xx Magnetic Therapy Hospital" written on it.
"I know it. It's a very popular hospital in recent years, specializing in swindling money from fools."
"He should be telling us to go there. The people in these paintings are his hostages."
"A knight fighting a dragon to save a princess?"
"I guess."
Xu Qinglang didn't ask Zhou Ze whether he would go or not, because there was nothing to ask.
How could he give up so much family fortune that he had worked so hard to accumulate?
Moreover,
His master,
Was a hurdle that everyone would eventually have to face and could not jump over.
"Hey, there's another painting here, clipped in this crack."
Yingying took out a painting from under the cart and unfolded it.
The painting in this picture was completely different from the other paintings.
The others were very miserable,
You could see their crisis,
And even correspond to their experiences and identities,
But in this painting,
You could only see the old Taoist sitting alone on the lush mountains,
Leaning back, blowing the wind,
At the same time,
He was still picking his feet…
