Chapter 171 Fortune's Harbinger

To be honest, Zhou Ze hadn't seen Black and White Impermanence before. Even when he was wandering around Hell with Ying Gou, after killing so many officials and soldiers of the underworld, he still hadn't encountered anything like Black and White Impermanence or Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

In fact, Zhou Ze was starting to doubt whether Black and White Impermanence even existed.

After all,

The last time Lu Pan came to pick them up for the trial, the inspectors under his command were either dressed in bright red or deep purple, looking as flashy and flamboyant as the Power Rangers.

He figured that in ancient times, some of these inspectors or judges probably had similar tastes. Maybe it was fashionable in Hell back then to wear black and white outfits, and that's how the legends of Black and White Impermanence gradually spread.

However,

Regardless of whether these two were actually "Black and White Impermanence,"

They entered as ordinary people, but immediately released Yin energy, so they definitely weren't here to reincarnate and boost the business. This was them directly revealing their identities.

Sure enough,

After the two of them came in,

Another man wearing a thick down jacket pushed the door open and entered.

This down jacket was so thick it looked like something a mountaineering team would wear to climb a snowy mountain.

"Achoo!"

The man sneezed as he came in,

And gave each of the Black and White Impermanence a flick on the forehead,

"What the hell are you doing? You can pose, but why are you releasing cold air!"

The man grabbed a tissue, wiped his nose, and walked towards Zhou Ze.

He saw Bai Yingying,

And shivered again,

"Holy crap,

There's a refrigerator here too!"

The man didn't dare to get too close,

And sat down across the aisle from Zhou Ze.

Black and White Impermanence stood on either side of the man, silent.

Zhou Ze signaled Yingying to refill his coffee,

And picked up the newspaper,

Ignoring them.

Even though Boss Zhou had just mocked himself for not knowing how to be a boss,

He certainly knew how to act imposing and maintain his status.

It didn't take a genius,

Anyone could be aloof and dismissive.

"Hehe, this temper, I like it."

The man rubbed his hands together, blew on his palms to warm them, and got straight to the point:

"Brother, your name is Zhou, right? Come work for me, and I guarantee you'll eat well!"

Zhou Ze lowered the newspaper,

And looked at the man,

As if he were a clown.

Boss Zhou never thought he would be like the protagonists in the novels in his bookstore,

Accidentally leaking an aura of dominance,

And having everyone around him immediately kowtow in submission.

But he never imagined he would be a minor character who would immediately kowtow to someone else either.

Was this guy sick?

Coming in and immediately asking him to be his subordinate?

"It's okay, it's okay, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Gou, and my name is Gou Xin. I was from Hainan in life, and now I'm settled in Fujian.

I like to be direct, and I don't have many advantages, but I'm lucky, so people who follow me are blessed.

You know what I mean by 'blessed,' right?"

Gou Xin looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Sigh, my problem is that I have too many blessings. Really, it's like that sack down there; if it's been stored for too long and not used, it'll overflow on its own.

Wouldn't that be a waste?"

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time he'd heard someone brag like this.

I'm blessed, follow me, and we'll share the good fortune!

Even Liu Xiu, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty,

Wouldn't dare boast like that, would he?

"Achoo!"

Gou Xin sneezed again,

And patted his chest with a smile,

Saying:

"Believe me, I really don't have many strengths, but I'm lucky."

"I have a friend who's about the same as you. He'll be back later, and I can introduce you. You can learn from each other."

Zhou Ze was talking about the old Taoist.

[The bookstore ignores your recruitment attack and launches a causal weapon counterattack against you.]

Boss Zhou ignored his recruitment attempt,

And was preparing to send out his own vanguard, the old Taoist, to test the waters.

"Hehe, seeing is believing. Come on, Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, let him see."

The two Black and White Impermanence were naturally the Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai he was referring to.

They took a step forward together,

Formed hand seals,

And chanted in a low voice:

"The underworld is orderly, and the law of death is merciless!"

"The underworld is orderly, and the law of death is merciless!"

In an instant,

Two powerful waves of energy rushed towards Zhou Ze.

"Impudence!"

Bai Yingying threw down the coffee cup in her hand,

And rushed forward,

Swinging her arms,

Directly shattering the two waves of energy!

With a "smash,"

The coffee cup fell to the ground,

Shattering.

Boss Zhou felt a little heartache.

Black and White Impermanence didn't continue to attack. In fact, their previous attack was only for show, so it wasn't a problem for Yingying to block it.

But they used,

The same incantation they used when fighting An lawyer,

Which meant,

That this guy called Gou Xin,

His Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai,

Were inspectors?

"Brother, don't misunderstand. They're not inspectors. Actually, even I'm a little short of being a captain. Hehe, I'm just a ghost messenger like you.

Before they met me, the two of them were the worst ghost messengers.

Ever since they followed me, they've had nothing but opportunities. Now they're rising rapidly. If they hadn't given me their soul blood, they'd be captains by now, if not inspectors."

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Ze put down the newspaper,

And started asking seriously.

"It doesn't mean anything. I just arrived in Tong City. I'd heard that the ghost messengers in Tong City were good, so I came to take a look and maybe hand it over to a friend or something.

Who would have thought,

The closer I got to your bookstore, the more excited I became!

Oh my,

I couldn't control my excitement!

I just felt,

Brother,

You're my man,

There's no escaping it!"

Which meant,

He believed in his sixth sense like crazy.

Zhou Ze shook his head. Although he thought the person in front of him was a little crazy and unreliable, since the other party didn't show any malice, Boss Zhou didn't explode. He simply refused:

"Sorry, I'm not interested in being someone else's lackey."

He had the number one ghost messenger certificate in the world, why would he be someone else's lackey?

Any normal person would choose to be the boss rather than a lackey.

Besides,

Tie Hanhan was still asleep,

He had to think about Tie Hanhan's feelings even if he didn't think about his own,

In case he woke up in the future,

And saw this,

He'd probably die of anger again.

"That's really a pity, a pity."

Gou Xin beat his chest, looking very sad.

"Okay, let's leave it at that. It seems we're not meant to be."

With that,

Gou Xin stood up,

And called his Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai to leave.

Boss Zhou's gaze was fixed on the other party,

He was wondering,

Whether the other party was really as pure as he seemed.

There were all kinds of people in the world,

And adding ghosts to the mix,

Made it even more diverse.

It was normal for a few oddballs to appear.

However,

When Black and White Impermanence opened the glass door for Gou Xin,

Gou Xin stopped again,

Turned his head,

And looked at Zhou Ze with a pitiful expression,

Asking in a crying voice:

"Brother, won't you really reconsider?

I feel like I'm about to be burst by blessings,

It's really uncomfortable!"

"Hehe."

Zhou Ze laughed.

Even Jack Ma, who regretted creating Alibaba, would be ashamed of this kind of bragging.

I have money,

I have blessings,

I have a house,

I have blessings!

But Zhou Ze still shook his head firmly.

Gou Xin smacked his lips, looked up at the ceiling, seemingly implying something, and said:

"Brother, actually, my coming here today is your blessing. As the saying goes, good fortune lies within disaster. You rejected me today, but little do you know…" hehe."

Zhou Ze tilted his head slightly,

And said coldly:

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, no, no, how could I do such a thing? I'm really just reminding you."

Gou Xin looked at Zhou Ze with a sincere expression,

"I'm a proud person, and I can't do things like forcing good people into prostitution."

Zhou Ze rubbed his temples.

This treasure,

It was really hard to tell,

Whether he should continue to be friendly to him or get angry.

At this time,

The old Taoist's car drove over and stopped in front of the bookstore.

The old Taoist and the little boy got out of the car, followed by An lawyer's car. An lawyer was back too.

However,

When he saw the three people standing at the door,

An lawyer's gaze instantly sharpened.

The little boy was naturally standing next to An lawyer,

And he felt something too.

For a moment,

There was a tense atmosphere at the door.

Black and White Impermanence stood in front of Gou Xin, like two loyal dogs.

When Zhou Ze saw that the old Taoist was back,

He stood up,

Passed by Gou Xin and the others,

And walked over to greet the old Taoist warmly:

"Old Taoist, you're back. Thank you for your hard work. You're so old, yet you're still working so hard. It really pains me."

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

Seeing his boss suddenly acting like this,

The old Taoist didn't feel touched,

But rather panicked!

Immeasurable Heavenly Lord,

What's going on!

"Come, let me introduce you. This is my new friend, Gou Xin, and these are his two dogs... Gou Xin's subordinates, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai."

An lawyer walked to Zhou Ze's side and said, "The clues have been found. We can interrogate them later."

The painting was clutched in An lawyer's hand.

"Mm, we'll talk about that later. Isn't it a pleasure to have friends come from afar?" As he said that, Zhou Ze took out a stack of hell money from his pocket and handed it to the old Taoist.

The old Taoist took it,

And suddenly felt the hell money was a little hot.

"Old Taoist, since they're guests, and I have something to do, you entertain these three friends for me. Take them around. Although Tong City isn't big, it has many scenic spots. Take them around, show them around, and have fun. Don't come back until late at night."

As he said that,

Zhou Ze pushed the old Taoist in front of Gou Xin and the others,

Smiling,

And continued:

"I really have something to do today. If you're not in a hurry to leave, we can talk about cooperation tomorrow."

As he said that,

Zhou Ze pushed the old Taoist into Gou Xin's arms,

Smiling on the surface,

But thinking in his heart,

Come on,

Let's hurt each other.
