Decades ago, humanity had already landed on the moon.

Every day, countless civilian and military aircraft roared across the skies around the world.

People seemed to have long believed that they had conquered the sky.

There was no Guanghan Palace on the moon.

Above the colorful clouds, there was no Nantian Gate (the Southern Gate to Heaven).

However,

Human drills had long since bored deep into the earth,

But hadn't they also failed to find any trace of the existence of "hell"?

However,

Hell is real, and the Yin Division (the underworld) is also real.

It is very likely that the sky you see is not the real sky, and the ground beneath your feet is not the real ground.

Above the firmament, is there a pair of eyes that have been overlooking all of this?

Three chi (a Chinese unit of measurement, roughly one meter) above your head,

Are there really immortals?

Isn't the unwavering faith in science among modern people very similar to the unwavering faith in theology among ancient people?

These questions,

Still need to be slowly explored by scientists and theologians,

At least,

The people in the Late Night Bookstore here are not in the mood to think about these things right now.

A small lightning bolt,

Although the foreplay had been built up for a long time,

And the speed was extremely fast,

The impact it brought was still too terrifying,

Even though the target of the lightning was not them, everyone was still affected, "washed" by this vast power of heaven.

Lawyer An felt as if his whole person had been "purified,"

"Damn it, if any brain-dead idiot says they're going to Tibet to purify their soul in the future, I'll slap them in the face!

Want to purify your soul?

Isn't it simple?

On a stormy day, run to the roof and hold up a metal needle, and I guarantee you'll be purified until you don't want to be!"

"Pa Pa Pa!"

Lawyer An kept slapping his face, forcing himself to stay awake,

Although there were no obvious injuries on his body,

He just felt very uncomfortable all over.

Then he lowered his head,

Bent over,

And helped Xu Qinglang up.

Old Xu's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were overflowing with blood, his face was pale, giving people a sense of "beauty with a short life."

"Bang!"

A muffled sound came,

Lawyer An was startled,

He looked over there,

And found that Yingying had actually jumped directly from the building, landing in the flower bed.

But Yingying's condition was also very bad. When she got up after landing, she couldn't stand up straight, and could only barely support herself with her legs bent.

"Oh, right, damn it! Boss!"

Seeing Yingying so desperately,

Lawyer An immediately understood,

Damn it,

How could I forget the boss!

You know, when the lightning struck, the boss was very close to that monk. If the boss was struck and killed along with him,

How could he, An, afford to pay for it!

Lawyer An immediately let go,

With a "thump,"

Xu Qinglang, who was originally being supported by him, fell heavily to the ground.

But Lawyer An didn't even look back, and staggered towards the road in front of him.

What he saw first,

Was a pile of ash,

Very clean, very clear, even, it could be said, very comfortable and perfect ash.

These adjectives seemed difficult to associate with the thing "ash," but this was indeed the truth.

What is called a miracle of nature?

Setting off a thunderbolt and turning a person into ash could be so artistic!

Fortunately,

In Lawyer An's line of sight,

He also saw a human-shaped piece of charcoal,

Otherwise, he would have immediately knelt down and burst into tears in front of the ash pile,

Not crying for the boss,

But crying for his own miserable and bumpy fate.

Lawyer An came to the human-shaped charcoal and immediately squatted down.

The boss's clothes had been burned, but fortunately, because of the previous fight, the boss's clothes were already tattered and little remained. The few remaining parts that were burned stuck to his body, and the damage wasn't too great.

Most importantly,

The boss's skin was pitch black,

Like toast baked by a broken toaster.

Compared to this completely charred situation,

Losing an arm wasn't so glaring anymore.

"Boss? Boss?"

Lawyer An didn't dare to reach out and touch Zhou Ze directly,

He was afraid that if he used a little force, the boss would fall apart in front of him.

Like eating grilled fish at a night market barbecue stall,

Stirring it with chopsticks,

The bones and flesh separate.

"Boss! Boss!"

Yingying also finally walked over with difficulty, falling directly beside Zhou Ze, but still looking at the "charcoal" in front of her with a nervous and anxious expression.

"Yin Division Orders!"

Lawyer An immediately formed a hand seal,

The tips of his fingers flickered with a faint luster,

And swept it over Zhou Ze's head,

Then his face immediately sank!

Hamapi (Damn it),

He couldn't sense the soul anymore!

If the physical body was destroyed, then so be it. Although the value of the physical body was extremely great, especially the boss's physical body, which was even more precious, equivalent to a high-level account that had been painstakingly leveled up.

But as long as the soul was still there, he could just level up from the beginning. But if the soul was gone, it was a direct account deletion!

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Yingying looked at Lawyer An and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Lawyer An shook his head and said,

"Let's move the boss first. Yingying, go find a stretcher, or find a bed board."

The boss was in this state,

It was impossible to carry him directly on his back, and he didn't dare to do that,

Looking at this situation,

The boss had been roasted until he was tender inside and charred outside,

Lawyer An was really worried that he would accidentally destroy the boss's physical body,

At least,

At least,

At least,

At least, although it was black now,

It still looked like a person, didn't it?

Although Yingying's body hadn't fully recovered, she gritted her teeth and quickly found a mattress, which she directly removed from a hotel room bed.

Afraid that one person wouldn't be stable, Lawyer An and Yingying each took one side, not daring to carry him by the head and feet. Instead, the two of them hugged Zhou Ze around the waist, being as careful as possible.

After placing the boss on the mattress, they carried him to a vacant apartment nearby.

After settling the boss down, Lawyer An didn't dare to delay at all. He told Yingying to stay here with the boss, and he immediately ran back.

Perhaps due to the effect of the lightning,

The ghostly aura here had vanished,

Figures also appeared on the road and at the hotel.

Lawyer An ran to where Xu Qinglang was unconscious,

And focused on bending over to check Xu Qinglang's pants,

Seeing that there was nothing unusual,

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It didn't matter if other people fainted here, at most they'd lose some money, but this one…

Lawyer An carried Xu Qinglang and came to the place where the boss was settled.

As soon as he put Xu Qinglang down, Old Xu slowly opened his eyes and woke up. After waking up, he just silently covered his head and squatted there, obviously, he hadn't fully recovered yet.

A python transforming into a dragon was already an act against heaven, especially in this day and age. This was playing with defying fate, so Xu Qinglang, who had the aura of the sea god, suffered more damage in the lightning strike than Lawyer An, even more severe than Yingying, a zombie.

Lawyer An didn't have time to continue comforting Xu Qinglang, and immediately came to the boss's side.

The boss didn't make the slightest movement,

Just lying there quietly,

Like a mummy,

And a Brazilian barbecue-style mummy.

Lawyer An slumped down against the wall,

His nose felt a little sore,

Right now,

He really wanted to cry out like those sisters-in-law women during funerals in the countryside.

Boss~~~

Why did you leave like this~~~~~

My investment…

My effort…

My future…

Lawyer An kept reaching out and rubbing his face,

Can't cry,

Hold it in!

Yingying, on the other hand, couldn't see anything, just said somewhat silently:

"The boss likes to be clean the most, and can't stand being dirty the most. Should I fetch some water to wipe his body,

Otherwise, when the boss wakes up and sees so much ash on his body, he will definitely be very angry."

Lawyer An looked at Yingying,

Didn't say anything,

Just nodded.

He knew,

If something happened to Zhou Ze,

For him, it meant the collapse of his future planning blueprint,

But for Yingying in front of him, it was more like the loss of the center of her life.

Xu Qinglang limped in at this time,

Looking at Zhou Ze's current situation,

His face was also somewhat gloomy.

"If Cuihua were here, that would be great. Right, Cuihua, I'll go find Feng Si'er and have him find a way to send Cuihua up again!"

Lawyer An said anxiously, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Xu Qinglang sighed in his heart. Lawyer An at this time was no longer the usual calm he was known for, and Xu Qinglang still felt that his head was very painful.

As for finding Cuihua?

Xu Qinglang could only feel that Lawyer An had really lost his composure.

Cuihua's greatest skill was actually conditioning souls,

Now that the boss had become like this,

Was calling Cuihua up to have her get some sauerkraut and stir it for the boss to make a charcoal-grilled sauerkraut?

"He used to be seriously injured often, after all, his physique is different from others, he'll be fine."

Xu Qinglang could only say these words.

Lawyer An, on the other hand, grabbed his hair vigorously,

Could it be the same as before?

Could he have been carbonized so thoroughly before?

Most importantly,

Lawyer An couldn't sense the boss's soul,

Which meant that there was a 99% chance that,

The boss's soul,

Had been directly struck away by the lightning, even saving the cremation fee.

But the boss was luckier than that bald monk,

The bald monk directly turned to ash,

The boss still had a body left.

Yingying brought warm water and picked up a towel, carefully starting to wipe the boss's body.

Xu Qinglang and Lawyer An didn't stop her,

Looking at the current situation,

What damaging the wound, what infection, what disinfection,

Were actually the best phenomena,

And these were nothing to Zhou Ze, so Yingying's current action had no side effects.

Moreover,

It was already this time,

They were too embarrassed to say anything to Yingying,

And didn't dare to stimulate her.

Xu Qinglang suddenly thought of what Zhou Ze had said to Yingying when they came down from Yulong Snow Mountain before,

So fast,

It had been confirmed?

"Ah!"

Yingying suddenly cried out.

Lawyer An immediately jumped up,

Jumping higher than the little monkey in the bookstore,

And immediately leaned over,

Shouting:

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Here…"

Yingying pointed to the boss's chest with the hand holding the towel.

Lawyer An lowered his head,

At a spot a little below the boss's nipples,

Blew air,

Blowing away a layer of black residue,

Revealing the red meat inside,

Damn it,

Smells so good!

Pui pui pui!

Lawyer An immediately stabilized his mind and looked down carefully,

He saw it,

In the skin layer of the boss's chest,

A small, pointed thing was revealed,

Not a taro root!

"It's a pen, it's a pen, it's that idiot!"
