That body, Lawyer An had spent a long time choosing it; he cherished that face very much!

He opened the door.

Outside,

was an ordinary corridor.

It was as if nothing of what had just happened within the walls had occurred; it was all just a dream.

Lawyer An's skeletal hand grabbed at the air,

clutching a black silken thread between his fingertips.

Then, he tugged it backward,

as if a curtain were being pulled aside. Lawyer An stepped forward, entering a hallucination of a small riverbank. Beside the river, a woman in scarlet clothes was singing an opera.

She was very engrossed and earnest. Even the intrusion of uninvited guests didn't affect her in the slightest; she continued to do her own thing.

If his handsome face hadn't been swapped out,

Lawyer An might have applauded at this moment,

and shouted:

"A skilled performance, a reward!"

But now,

Lawyer An had no interest at all.

He simply splayed his fingers open,

"The underworld is ordered, the law of death is merciless, break!"

An ear-piercing scraping sound immediately rang out,

as if a knife

was directly tearing everything here apart.

The beautiful scenery of the flowing river and the graceful woman was perhaps too beautiful, and therefore too fragile.

In an instant,

everything before him

was torn to shreds by Lawyer An.

Even the woman who had been across the river

was forcibly dragged in front of Lawyer An.

"Goodbye."

He said his farewell to give a proper ending to listening to her singing earlier.

The next moment,

Lawyer An's skeletal fingers pierced directly into the woman's body. The woman's body immediately trembled, her expression instantly becoming extremely painful.

This expression, coupled with the makeup, was even more captivating.

It was a pity that Lawyer An wasn't some naive young man, especially when it came to matters of the heart. He viewed them casually, which also meant he viewed them lightly, so he naturally wouldn't be bewitched.

"Whirr!"

Like a piece of silk being forcibly torn apart,

everything around them collapsed.

Lawyer An was still standing in the corridor,

looking down

at the soft mask in his palm.

No,

it couldn't be called a mask anymore.

Based on the texture, it felt more like human skin.

Slippery, and still retaining a faint warmth.

Lawyer An narrowed his eyes and returned to his room. The little boy looked up, watching Lawyer An standing at the door, and asked:

"Solved?"

In his perception, the hotel had returned to normal.

"Sort of, but the mastermind ran away, or rather, wasn't even here to begin with."

"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

From a room around the corner on the same floor, a woman's shrill scream echoed.

Many guests opened their doors to check the situation. Lawyer An also went out, and then returned a while later.

The little boy sighed,

lamenting:

"So much trouble."

"Indeed, a lot of trouble. That room is occupied by a couple traveling from Su province. The wife woke up in a daze and discovered that her husband's face was gone, leaving only a bloody mess."

"Is he dead?"

The little boy asked.

"That's the strange thing. You can tell he's in a lot of pain, but he shouldn't die."

The little boy shook his head, looked at the time, and said:

"It's getting late. Contact the boss, let's go to the airport together."

"The problem is, we can't leave just yet."

Lawyer An took out the damaged human skin from his pocket,

then walked into the bathroom,

placing it under the faucet to wash it.

He wanted to remove the thick makeup from the skin.

After washing it,

Lawyer An, like drying clothes, spread out the skin, shook it, walked out of the bathroom, and presented the skin to the little boy,

saying:

"Fill in the damaged parts yourself, and then think about it, doesn't this face look like someone?"

………………

After eating a late-night snack,

Zhou老板 felt warm all over.

He stretched lazily,

planning to take a stroll with Yingying to digest.

Zhou Ze walked in front,

Yingying followed behind, still holding the boss's unfinished, no-longer-very-cold cola.

Zhou老板 tried his best not to think about the simple-minded female ghost messenger who had died gloriously shortly after they met.

He just wanted to enjoy the comfort of strolling the streets of Rong City with his maid at this moment.

After a while, they could just take a taxi to the airport and take an early morning flight back to Tong City. Life would return to its previous trajectory, all good and perfect.

Yingying was trying to use the baleful aura in her palm to re-chill the half-bottle of cola for her boss.

But what made her frown slightly

was that the cola, after being held in her hand,

actually got hotter and hotter.

This made Yingying a little dissatisfied, because if that was the case, then when spring came and summer arrived, an air conditioner would have to be installed in her bedroom.

Ahead,

the sound of motorcycles suddenly rang out again.

Two motorcycles,

speeding and driving against traffic.

Normally, Zhou老板 would just watch this kind of uncivilized behavior and wouldn't think much of it.

But this time,

he frowned.

After the two motorcycles roared past him,

Zhou Ze turned around,

pointed his finger at them,

and said to his maid behind him:

"Smash them!"

Yingying understood,

turned around,

swung her arm,

and the half-bottle of cola drew a beautiful arc in the air, while carrying a huge force, hitting one of the motorcycles. The motorcycle fell directly, and at the same time, crashed into its speeding partner.

"Bang! Bang!"

The motorcycle riders fell off their bikes, rolling on the ground, wailing.

Their vehicles fell even further away, and even after lying on the ground, the wheels continued to spin.

"No manners."

Zhou Ze muttered,

completely unaware that his command for his maid to litter in public wasn't exactly a display of good manners either.

He reached out and rubbed his eyebrows.

Zhou Ze said to Yingying:

"Let's get a taxi, to the airport."

"Yes, Boss."

In about half a minute, a black Audi drove over, with unimaginable speed.

The driver lowered the window and smiled:

"Is this the one with the last four digits of the plate number being 3571?"

"Yes."

Yingying stepped forward, opened the car door, stood aside, and waited for Zhou Ze to bend over and get into the car before Yingying followed and sat inside.

"Hey, it's also lucky. I just dropped off a passenger and they got out around the corner. Then this order came again."

The driver's eyes kept looking at Yingying through the rearview mirror.

Fortunately, Zhou老板 was closing his eyes at this time and didn't notice this scene, otherwise, with his current irritable mood, this driver would really be in some danger.

"Boss, this car has a smell."

Yingying said.

"A smell? Impossible, I just washed the car during the day. Beautiful lady, don't make things up."

The driver was worried that Yingying would give him a bad review for this reason.

"Boss, it's the smell of body odor!" Yingying looked at Zhou Ze with some suspicion, and continued: "It seems like that fox spirit, she's here too."

"Fox spirit? What, do you know each other? The woman I just picked up, hey, I have to say, she was really beautiful!"

Zhou Ze opened the car door next to him and got out of the car.

Yingying followed and got out of the car as well.

He remembered that Bai Hu had mentioned to him before that she also wanted to come to Sichuan, but he had refused. He had also mentioned it to Lawyer An, and he had also refused.

Bai Hu had never really been considered one of the Late Night Bookstore's people.

The reason she had been allowed to appear in the bookstore repeatedly, coming and going,

was simple:

she was beautiful.

But now,

at this time,

coincidentally encountering traces of her appearance,

made Zhou Ze feel somewhat uneasy.

Instinctively, Zhou Ze felt that the face-changing incident was very likely related to her.

But what was a great demon from the Northeast doing running to Rong City to stir up trouble?

She wasn't the kind of fox who lacked restraint.

"Hey, are you going or not, are you going or not, I'm asking!"

The driver shouted from inside the car.

Zhou Ze ignored him, but picked up his phone and dialed Lawyer An's number.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy, please try again later."

Hmm,

busy?

…………

"Boss's phone is busy, I'll use Yingying's phone to call."

Lawyer An dialed Yingying's phone, and it was quickly answered, and then, it was the boss's voice that appeared.

"Hello, where are you?"

"We're at the hotel where we sent the location earlier, listening to Sichuan opera all night, hehe, Boss, I have a discovery here, something is causing trouble here.

How could I tolerate this?

In broad daylight, how can we allow those scoundrels to jump around?

So I, according to your usual words and deeds to us, according to your usual concern and guidance to us,

took action to stop it.

Then, I discovered something interesting."

"Don't beat around the bush."

"Well, I got a human skin here, I don't know if it's real or fake, but after I washed this skin, I found that it looks a bit like that fox in our bookstore."

Zhou Ze on the other end of the phone was silent.

He didn't initially think that Lawyer An had also experienced the face-changing incident,

but,

adding these two things together,

coincidence,

was impossible.

"She's come to Rong City," Zhou Ze said.

"Is that so, she told me before that she wanted to come, I didn't expect her to come secretly."

"Old An."

"Yes, Boss?"

"Am I usually too lenient?"

"Boss, you have always been kind to people, compassionate, in fact, I have always wanted to remind you, don't be so kind and generous.

On the one hand, it's easy to suffer losses, and on the other hand, it will make some people not know how to cherish it."

"So, some beasts can just casually break the rules."

The Garfield cat lying on the bed next to him had a strong sixth sense. After hearing the voice on the phone, its body immediately shrank. Obviously, it knew that it was also in the ranks of these unruly beasts.

"Boss, give your orders."

"Find her for me, catch her for me."

Zhou Ze looked up,

at the sky.

The weather wasn't good today, and he couldn't see the stars.

"It's time to teach them some rules too."

"Understood, don't worry, I'll find her for you before dawn, I'm very familiar with the scent below her."

After speaking,

Lawyer An hung up the phone,

threw the human skin on the Garfield cat's body,

and said to the little boy:

"Alright, the boss has given the order, we hangers-on have to start shaking too."

The little boy continued to look at his phone.

Shortly after,

a ringtone came from the phone:

"Jingle bells, jingle bells…"
