Under the dim yellow streetlights, at the entrance of the orphanage, Ban Zhanglian (Half Face) knelt on the road, half of his body slumped. In front of him, a baby in swaddling clothes was placed there. The baby was well-behaved, not crying, just sucking on its fingers.

His life would begin anew from here.

He would grow up in the orphanage, he would meet many people there, such as Wang Ke, and Grandpa Qin, the gatekeeper and security guard of the orphanage.

At the beginning of his resurrection, Ban Zhanglian had thought that Ying Gou and the bookstore owner resurrected him in order to make him a role similar to that of a bodhisattva to the last generation Fu Jun (King of Hell).

He was actually mentally prepared for it, and if he could, he would be willing.

Anyway, he had long been somewhat weary of life, not in a negative way, but purely because he had no purpose in living. Whether he became this scapegoat or not was really up to fate.

At that time, the bookstore owner had relayed Ying Gou's response to this:

"You are not worthy!"

At the time, he felt it was absurd, even infuriating;

Now that he thought about it, he really wasn't worthy;

Because the scapegoat, was him.

In fact, as Ying Gou, he had already known about this.

Especially in the ancient tomb discovered by Geng Chen. Since that time, Ying Gou had rarely spoken, nor was he as active as before. At that time, he had completely understood and confirmed his fate.

In the tomb chamber, Zhou Ze could manipulate the pool of water to create puppets, and could also simulate the appearance changes of those puppets lying in the crystal coffins. At the time, he only felt that there was a pair of eyes, constantly staring at this place, and able to peek into his heart.

In reality, things were not that complicated, because when Zhou Ze walked into this place, as the place he designed himself, his will could perfectly fit to control that space.

He was actually the true master of that tomb chamber, but he didn't know it himself, which was equivalent to scaring himself.

Before the Bodhisattva ascended to heaven, on the cruise ship, he had said to Di Ting that Ying Gou was the best at hiding.

Before the last Fu Jun was found by the Bodhisattva, he set up a banquet, using meat as dishes and blood as wine. In fact, the person he initially entertained, who sat there, was Zhou Ze, not Ying Gou.

Several times, the person the Fu Jun directly faced was Zhou Ze, not Ying Gou. At the time, he might have thought it was because Zhou Ze was Ying Gou's spokesperson;

But thinking back to when the Fu Jun personally entrusted the illusory Mount Tai to Zhou Ze's soul, it completely listened to Zhou Ze and even helped Zhou Ze suppress Ying Gou, who was having conflicts with him at the time.

This was enough to show that the Fu Jun, who had extraordinary talent, had actually seen through the clues long ago. That "Brother" he called out wasn't just polite.

As a genius, he naturally had high ambitions and believed in a pattern where reason was spoken under the fist.

A last Fu Jun who was considered trash even by his own ancestors, showing so much respect to Ying Gou, even stooping so low, how could it be purely for the sake of respecting the elderly?

To put it longer, in fact, the scenes that appeared when Zhou Ze and Ying Gou first took a walk had already hinted at it very clearly.

Yingying, as a jiangshi (zombie), followed her feelings and was naturally close to Zhou Ze.

You could say that after getting acquainted, it was understandable that Yingying had always firmly stood on Zhou Ze's side but had never been interested in Ying Gou, but from the very beginning, Yingying had completely stood beside Zhou Ze. Perhaps, there was really a woman's sixth sense at play here.

In the prison,

Zhou Ze called out the name of "Shabi" (Moron),

Causing Shabi to directly recognize Zhou Ze as its master.

But you must know that Ying Gou knew this pen. If it was really just a matter of calling out its name, this pen would recognize you as its master, why didn't Ying Gou call it out himself?

This kind of top-quality magic item, and also a literary treasure, inherently had a kind of Zhong Xiu (concentrated essence) aura. Rather than saying that Zhou Ze coincidentally called out its name, it was better to say that it chose Zhou Ze after making a decision.

Back then, the Japanese priest, in order to study the secrets of Zhou Ze, did not hesitate to dig out Zhou Ze's ashes from the cemetery in his previous life, not only doing experiments on living people, but also eating them himself.

In the end, those few living people became walking corpses, and the Japanese priest himself eventually turned into the current death servant.

Only because Zhou Ze's body in his previous life was chosen by the real Ying Gou, that body crawled out of the pool of water, and it contained the purest death aura.

So, it was fortunate that Zhou Ze was always busy with work in his previous life and did not fall in love or get married.

Otherwise, there really might have been that kind of thrilling scene where the person next to you turns into a jiangshi the next morning.

However, no one could really be all-knowing, such as the physical model that Ying Gou personally selected, but it was destroyed because of a mentally deranged ghost messenger, thus changing to another body.

Perhaps, this was the most glorious feat of that female ghost messenger in this life, but unfortunately, she had no way of knowing it and being proud of it.

But no matter what, the development of things, had twists and turns, but in general, it was still continuing in one direction.

Ban Zhanglian took a deep breath,

He suddenly felt that the illusory Ying Gou was a little pitiful,

The bottom of his cup, had always been cracked,

This was an irreparable crack,

Just as the real Ying Gou had previously answered him,

He was too powerful, so powerful that even though he had been restraining and suppressing himself, he still could not avoid fully recovering.

Therefore, there was his departure, and the smile on Ying Gou's face when he was sitting on the Bone Throne when he left a harsh word and turned to leave in front of the Bone Throne.

At that time, he must have thought he was just a joke.

Ban Zhanglian staggered to his feet. In the picture, people from the orphanage discovered the abandoned baby at the door, and someone soon came over to take the baby inside.

"He he…………"

Ban Zhanglian reached out his hand. At this moment, he finally tore open this consciousness barrier and walked out.

Outside,

It was bustling.

Ban Zhanglian lifted his foot forward,

And soon appeared on the coast.

He saw that the group of people were still fighting in a chaotic mess,

He saw the Hanba (drought demon), whose body was on the verge of collapse, roaring again and flying out of the seabed, rushing towards the Immortal King's hand, like a madman.

All around, the eyes of all the great powers and giants, when they fell on the bookstore owner on the ice, whose eyes were blurred and empty, seemingly not yet recovered from the blow of losing Ying Gou, carried a strong heat.

Even though the Immortal King's power was unparalleled, everyone still had not completely given up, because many people here really had no way to retreat.

"Heh…………"

Ban Zhanglian couldn't help but let out a laugh. It was really funny.

These guys,

Did they even know,

What exactly were they fighting for right now?
