Chapter 40 He Will Regret It

The explosion in the private room didn't cause too much damage; it was more like a whirlwind had swept through, overturning some of the furnishings and decorations inside.

Pushing open the door, Old Zhang saw the little boy still standing there. In front of him, the woman was tied up with red silk threads all over her body, still struggling.

The earlier commotion must have been an attempt by the woman to break free.

Actually, it was better outside. Now that she had been caught in the bookstore, how could she still be thinking of escaping? That was just too unrealistic.

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An also entered the private room. Lawyer An's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, and he said:

"Red rope is an art."

The little boy pressed his palm down,

And the woman was forced down.

"Did you get anything?" Zhou Ze asked.

The little boy shook his head guiltily, then looked at Lawyer An and said:

"You do it."

"Heh heh."

Lawyer An rubbed his hands together with glee and walked in, not forgetting to instruct the people outside:

"Close the door."

……………

"Are you okay?"

Old Zhang asked with concern.

"I'm fine."

The little boy waved his hand, but his expression was still a little depressed.

He wouldn't admit that he was competing with Lawyer An; he just thought he simply didn't get along with Lawyer An.

"Here, a towel."

Old Zhang handed the towel to the little boy.

The little boy took it and wiped his face, then said earnestly to Old Zhang: "Tomorrow, I have to issue a new appointment to your boss. After your boss is promoted to Inspector, all of you former subordinates will be freed from your previous constraints and will no longer be pressed down to be ghost messengers.

"But I'm really speechless. How come your performance on your ghost messenger certificate is so low?

"Are you out of your mind? Were you only focused on catching thieves and forgot to catch ghosts?"

Old Zhang looked embarrassed. It was true that he had rarely participated in bookstore activities before. He would only occasionally fill in for a few days when the bookstore was short of staff, but most of the time, he still thought of himself as a policeman, not a ghost messenger.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Anyway, our Old Zhang family is destined to be selfless and dedicated. I see through it. I'm just feeling blocked up inside. The other four can all be promoted to Constable, but you can only continue to be a ghost messenger.

"Tell me, if you didn't have me, your ancestor, to protect you, that would be fine, but I'm still here. Although I'm not doing very well, I'm still a Judge, at least. You have to work hard yourself, and properly..."

"Didn't you also seek an external posting?"

The little boy was choked by Old Zhang's words, then sighed and said, "Fine, do whatever makes you happy."

…………

"Ahhhhh..."

A long, drawn-out sound,

A very comfortable stretch.

Zheng Qiang yawned, reached out and patted Crescent Moon, who was driving in front, and said:

"How long until we get there?"

"Soon, we'll be crossing the Sutong Bridge in a little while."

"Oh."

"Hey, why aren't you happy at all?"

"Happy about what?"

"Happy about getting promoted."

"We've seen a lot of storms, so to be honest, I'm calm about becoming a Constable. Let's just say, we've already seen a Yama who transforms like Ultraman, haven't we?"

"That's a Dharma Body."

"Whatever Dharma Body or not, wasn't he still beaten up by our boss? I see it clearly now. I used to feel wronged and unconvinced when he caught me and that lawyer forced me to be his little brother, but now that I think about it, this is really our opportunity. Ordinary people can't even dream of this kind of opportunity."

Hearing this, Crescent Moon nodded with great empathy and said:

"How are you considering the matter I mentioned to you before?"

"Sure, I agree. We won't go back to Wuxi and Suzhou anymore. We'll just settle down in Tongcheng. It's okay if our performance is a little lower. It's too difficult to rely purely on performance to reach the position of Inspector. It's better to stay close to the boss, and we'll have the opportunity to get more benefits.

"We weren't decisive enough before, and we were still thinking about the little bit of performance and hell money in our own territory. We missed too many opportunities. Those two ghost messengers who stayed by the boss's side in Tongcheng are lazy as hell, but they're all eating their fill."

"Okay, I'm glad you agree."

"People go to high places, water..."

"Screech!!!!!!"

A sudden brake,

Made Zheng Qiang swallow back the rest of his words.

On the road in front of the car, a woman holding a child suddenly crossed the road recklessly. This was a highway!

Fortunately, he stepped on the brakes in time,

Crescent Moon breathed a sigh of relief,

Immediately,

A sense of alarm rose in her heart,

And she immediately said:

"That's not right, there's a problem!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The car windows on both sides suddenly shattered, and two tentacles stretched in directly.

A row of silver needles appeared in front of Crescent Moon, and they pierced directly at the tentacles. The silver needles pierced through the tentacles' skin, but what followed was splashing black liquid, which was extremely corrosive, and it was all splattered in the car.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Crescent Moon's face was immediately corroded and pitted, and she let out a shrill scream.

Zheng Qiang in the back row was also in great pain, but he was very decisive. After kicking open the car door, he didn't care about Crescent Moon and rolled out of the car first. In that narrow space, he couldn't use his strength at all.

However,

Just as he rolled out of the car,

As soon as his body landed,

He was stunned to find that the highway ground under him was so soft,

Like he had fallen into a muddy swamp.

"Glug...glug..."

The mud began to quickly envelop him. No matter how hard Zheng Qiang's bones were, no matter how resolute his resistance was, he couldn't stop the mud from eroding him.

And his strength began to rapidly deplete in this violent struggle.

"Damn it, who is it!"

"Buzz!"

A muddy figure appeared behind Zheng Qiang.

Zheng Qiang turned around suddenly, just preparing to do something, but the mud on his body instantly turned into hard mud blocks, fixing his whole body in place.

The shadow's eyes were red. In his hand, he held a broken dagger. His movements seemed very slow. He approached Zheng Qiang step by step, but Zheng Qiang couldn't move his body at all. He could only watch helplessly as the other party stabbed the broken dagger into his chest.

"Puff!"

People who have experienced semi-anesthesia understand this feeling, which is the feeling of clearly feeling the doctor using surgical instruments to stir inside your body when you are conscious.

Zheng Qiang was in agony,

He knew,

That his physical body could not be saved.

Immediately,

His soul directly left his body.

It was not far from Tongcheng here, even very, very close. He still had a chance. As long as he could return to the bookstore, he would have a chance. A physical body was nothing!

However,

The mud below began to evaporate rapidly at this time, rising up a large amount of black gas, directly wrapping Zheng Qiang's soul, which was trying to escape from here.

The broken dagger once again drew a beautiful arc,

Cutting down,

Zheng Qiang's soul, which had just escaped, was instantly cut into two halves, directly collapsing and dissolving into the black mist.

The black mist was still floating, not really dissipating, and began to gradually approach the car.

"Squeak!"

The car that had just stopped suddenly started again.

Crescent Moon, enduring great pain, directly restarted the car.

However,

The car did drive out,

But the black shadow remained around the car and could not be dispersed at all.

Until,

The dagger appeared again,

Slashing across Crescent Moon's throat.

"Boom!"

The car, which had lost control, crashed into the guardrail, and the car body rolled over to the side, lying across the middle of the road.

A woman covered in blood struggled to climb out of the car window. She was groping for her phone.

However,

The black mist fell again,

Instantly piercing countless pores all over her body,

Along with her essence blood and the soul within her body, all were sucked clean at this moment!

The car began to ignite,

The female corpse also began to slowly be cremated in the flames.

And not far behind, deep in the farmland on one side of the highway, was buried the corpse of a man like a clay sculpture.

The black shadow tilted his head slightly,

The surrounding fog began to slowly return to his body,

His body also returned to solidity,

Transforming into the image of a tall, thin man with a very clear red tattoo on his left arm.

He licked his lips,

He had inexplicably lost several clones recently and needed to replenish them.

Unfortunately, he couldn't attack ordinary people, as this would undo all his previous efforts.

Fortunately,

Swallowing some ghosts wouldn't matter.

…………

"Boss, I got it out!"

Lawyer An walked out of the private room in a hurry. He had spent a lot of effort using mental hypnosis to break through the other party's defenses. Heaven knows why such a clone alone could have such a terrifying psychological quality!

Just,

As Lawyer An was preparing to come out to claim credit,

He found that the people in the bookstore sitting on the sofa all looked silent.

Especially the boss, frowning and holding his constable token.

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

Zhou Ze licked his lips,

Threw the token on the coffee table,

And said:

"Crescent Moon and Zheng Qiang's souls have just been annihilated."

Since his rebirth, Zhou Ze had become accustomed to life and death. He had even personally created many deaths and souls scattered.

But this was the first time,

The first time an employee in the bookstore was gone.

Boss Zhou had the feeling that two little lambs in his sheepfold had been snatched away and eaten by wolves, which made him very angry. The calm at this time was just the tranquility before the volcano erupted.

Biting his lip,

Zhou Ze's eyes began to turn slightly red,

And he even smiled,

Pointed to the constable token on the coffee table,

And said very calmly:

"He will regret it."
