Chapter 1 Zhou Ze's Decision

Zhou Ze woke up to find himself lying on a sports field. Because the Olympic Sports Center was still under construction, there was naturally no grass.

A circle of synthetic track enclosed a large oval pit of dirt.

His back really felt the hardness.

"Boss, you're awake?"

Yingying had been squatting beside Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze sat up, but suddenly realized that the ground was so hard because it was frozen. Especially around him, there was a thick layer of frost.

With Yingying's help, he stood up and waved to Xu Qinglang and the others, signaling that they could pack up.

Of course, packing up didn't mean going back right away. Once you've done something once, you become familiar with it. Since he had reached an agreement with Ying Gou in the depths of his soul, he would take this opportunity to stew the pig's trotter as well.

That way, he could avoid any complications later.

That was Zhou Ze's personality. He only considered benefits in his grasp as his own. He didn't like playing the long game to catch big fish, nor did he have a strong desire to control things from afar.

So,

in his previous life, Boss Zhou never speculated in stocks or bought any financial products.

Walking to the plaza outside the Olympic Sports Center, Zhou Ze saw Lawyer An and Geng Chen sitting there, still arguing.

"Boss, is it over?"

Lawyer An stood up and came forward.

Zhou Ze nodded and pointed to Lawyer An's back, saying:

"That one, take it too."

"Huh?"

Lawyer An was stunned.

That wasn't right.

This was different from the plan they had discussed before. Although Lawyer An also disliked Geng Chen, he knew that finding the remaining origins of Hao Zhi depended on Geng Chen as a guide.

So, he couldn't touch the origin within him yet.

However, since the boss had adjusted his strategy, there was no room for subordinates to object. Lawyer An knew and understood this very well.

Perhaps something else happened during the devouring, causing the boss to change his plan.

Immediately,

Lawyer An directly took off the baby from his back.

Geng Chen's eyes narrowed as he floated up from Lawyer An's palm. He stared at Zhou Ze and questioned:

"What about the other origins?"

Clearly, he was starting to resist.

The reason he was willing to be the "radar," even willing to sacrifice himself in the end, was to clear out those Hao Zhi origins that had been smuggled out of hell this time.

Even if these origins were taken by these people in the end, it was better than letting them roam outside.

The logic was the same as whether it was safer for all countries to have nuclear weapons or only the five permanent members of the Security Council.

However,

now,

Zhou Ze's action clearly showed that he didn't want to continue hunting and clearing them. He wanted to unload the millstone and kill the donkey early.

In fact, Geng Chen guessed correctly.

Hao Zhi had confessed that two of his origins had been replaced, and who knew what those two were? Moreover, Hao Zhi was unlikely to be lying in that situation.

The other party had already been scared into performing iron pot stew by Tie Hanhan;

was there any need to lie?

It was like playing Minesweeper. Boss Zhou didn't want to gamble anymore. As for whether those origins roaming outside would cause a catastrophe,

as long as it didn't explode in Tong City, they could explode wherever they wanted.

"There's no room for discussion?" Geng Chen asked.

"I can choose not to participate in the things that you and An Buqi are doing. I can even choose not to kill you. I just want the Hao Zhi origin on you. Give it to me, and you'll be free."

"What if I refuse?"

Without this origin, he, Geng Chen, wouldn't even be able to find others on his own, or report anything to those coming from the underworld.

"You misunderstood."

Zhou Ze shook his head and continued:

"I'm notifying you, not asking for your opinion."

After speaking,

Zhou Ze reached out and grabbed the baby in front of him.

Cut the Gordian knot.

Stew another pig's trotter for Tie Hanhan to nourish him, and then this matter would have nothing to do with him. Next, he could rest for a few days and then go to Xu Qinglang's master to give him a clock as a teacher appreciation gift and end this master-disciple relationship.

The baby's figure suddenly darted out.

At the same time,

dense black lines appeared in Zhou Ze's palm.

"Hiss..."

Zhou Ze's palm went numb, and for a moment, he actually let the baby escape from in front of him.

Clearly, the other party was unwilling to cooperate.

Actually,

Zhou Ze understood him quite well,

but in this world, there was very little true right and wrong. Most people judged right and wrong based on where they were sitting. Boss Zhou was also a vulgar person, and he couldn't avoid it either.

Lawyer An opened his mouth, wanting to call out to Geng Chen, telling him not to run and to just obey. The boss was very determined this time, and this time was different from catching Pig Head before. The boss was going to take action himself.

However, the words reached his lips and were swallowed back down.

How should he put it?

He couldn't say it,

it felt like a puppet army translator in a war movie trying to persuade the Eighth Route Army to surrender, "The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message..."

And then be rejected, with a "shame" mosaic on his face.

Was there any point?

The sudden change here caught Yingying, Xu Qinglang, and the others off guard, because Zhou Ze had only said to leave, not anything else. They hadn't expected that they would have to take action again.

Xu Qinglang began to rearrange the formation, the death puppets prepared to replant vines underground, and even the little loli and the others picked up the formation flags.

However,

just as they started to work, just as they were getting started, everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing.

Because,

the boss had already rushed out.

A lazy bum who could sit firmly in the boss's position.

Aside from the so-called personal charm and other bootlicking reasons,

there was a most fundamental and absolutely unavoidable reason,

and that was because no one could beat him.

And now, since the boss had already taken action, there was no need for everyone to busy themselves.

Seeing Zhou Ze rush over, the baby's delicate hands began to form seals. In an instant, a wall of qi condensed.

However,

this wall of qi wasn't enough to stand up to Boss Zhou's fingernails, and it was instantly shattered.

In the previous battle, Geng Chen had lost several puppets he had made since his reincarnation, resulting in him being unable to do anything even if he wanted to use his power now.

He took a deep breath, as if he was hesitating, but seeing Zhou Ze constantly approaching, he finally raised his finger again.

A black halo appeared.

He was going to summon Hao Zhi again.

Zhou Ze stopped and stared at the baby in front of him.

"Let me leave!"

Otherwise, they would both be destroyed!

In Geng Chen's view, the pig's head of Hao Zhi before was the most obvious example. It still fell under the siege of the bookstore's people. He didn't think that this origin on his side could really defeat the other party, even if he took advantage of the fact that some of them were injured now, it would at most be a pyrrhic victory.

But he still felt that

he could still leave by relying on Hao Zhi's power.

Since the other party's formation hadn't been set up, it couldn't trap him!

The reason he was still hesitating was that he didn't want to completely lose control of this part of the origin that already had signs of awakening. At that time, he, who wanted to eliminate the disaster, would become the person who personally started the disaster.

Zhou Ze shook his head without hesitation

and said:

"Sorry."

You can leave, but the origin on you must stay!

So,

at this time,

Zhou Ze still clearly realized that people like Lawyer An seemed more lovable. The baby in front of him was respectable, but really a bit of a pain in the ass.

"I will try my best to control it, not let it completely escape my control, and then, I'll see if you can stop me."

The black halo above the baby's head began to grow larger and larger.

Hao Zhi's aura descended again!

Zhou Ze also closed his eyes.

Come on,

let's all play summoning.

We're all summoners.

"Can you cut off the connection between this origin and the outside world in an instant?"

Zhou Ze asked in his heart.

"C-c-can..."

"Then why did you say before that you couldn't reveal your identity?" Zhou Ze asked.

He remembered that when he first asked Tie Hanhan to take action, Tie Hanhan said that it might expose his identity.

"B-b-before...c-can't..."

Zhou Ze understood.

After swallowing a pig's head, Tie Hanhan might have also had a milk supply boost.

Things that he couldn't do before, he was now confident that he could complete.

Since that was the case,

Zhou Ze was relieved

and directly said:

"Then I'll leave it to you. You're not young anymore, you have to learn to get your own takeout."

Tie Hanhan didn't reply,

but Zhou Ze sensed a familiar force slowly emerging.

Even his own consciousness was being squeezed.

Zhou Ze didn't resist and directly chose to retreat, handing over his body to Ying Gou.

The next moment,

Zhou Ze's eyes opened.

Crimson light flickered,

and a majestic pressure burst out!

Lawyer An crossed his fingers, somewhat excited, and muttered to himself, "Every time the Great Boss appears, it's so exciting. It feels like life suddenly has a purpose."

The little boy's body began to tremble, and he murmured, "Ancestor."

The most shocked was Geng Chen.

When this terrifying aura appeared,

Geng Chen felt as if his worldview was collapsing.

What kind of terrifying existence

actually possessed such terrifying power!

Unfortunately, when Zhou Ze and Tie Hanhan swept through hell together half a year ago, he had already been exiled to the far west sealed land and missed the show.

Zhou Ze moved.

Very direct,

very decisive.

There was no back-and-forth tug-of-war like when the bookstore people set up a formation before,

but instead, he directly got close to Geng Chen.

At the same time,

the bronze ring from Sanxiang Village that Zhou Ze had been wearing on his finger suddenly emitted light, completely enveloping the surrounding environment!

Isolating,

hiding his aura,

like wearing a mask.

Next,

he could be unscrupulous.

And he was indeed being unscrupulous.

Earlier, Geng Chen had only opened a small halo,

but Zhou Ze directly grabbed the edge of the halo with one hand

and tore it outwards!

"Sizzle!"

The halo directly cracked,

and then,

a huge, furry pig's trotter came out from inside. In the center of the pig's trotter, there was a one-eyed eye and a very small mouth, which looked particularly ridiculous and strange.

Geng Chen's heart went cold.

It's over.

It's out.

A catastrophe

was coming...

However,

the next scene

petrified Geng Chen.

In his eyes,

the embodiment of catastrophe and disaster,

that furry hand,

was almost eagerly grabbed by the bookstore owner in front of him.

Then,

he bit down on it without wanting to delay for even a second.

"Pfft!"

The soul was torn apart, flesh and blood splattered, the scene was incomparably bloody and violent.

"Ahhhhh, it's you!!!!!!"

A terrified roar came from the big pig's trotter.

Clearly,

this origin, like the pig's head before, quickly recognized Zhou Ze's true identity!

"Pfft!"

The second bite went down,

without hesitation!

In the distance, Lawyer An, who saw this scene, swallowed subconsciously and said to Xu Qinglang beside him:

"How about we eat pig's trotters tonight? I suddenly want to eat them."

Xu Qinglang nodded and said, "Okay."

While Geng Chen was completely dumbfounded by the scene in front of him,

another sharp scream came from the pig's trotter.

But it wasn't anger,

nor was it rage,

but actually,

it had a hint of ingratiation and flattery:

"Eat slowly, don't choke, don't choke..."
