Chapter 1 A Choice and a Compulsion

This seemed like a choice, but it was also a kind of compulsion.

But life is like this; people are used to covering it with a veneer of warmth, but in the end, they will be shocked to discover that it is just self-deception.

Boss Zhou didn't mind what Dead Servant thought of him in his heart.

Although he sometimes called him "Father,"

everyone in the bookstore knew the true relationship between Dead Servant and the boss.

Allowing him to live until now was already a kind of benevolence from Zhou Ze; of course, it could also be said to be his laziness.

As someone who once threatened to eat his "ashes mixed with rice,"

to be tolerated until today,

you really couldn't describe Boss Zhou as "cold-blooded," "brutal," or "selfish."

Likewise,

under this premise,

if this Dead Servant still dared to be indecisive or harbor other thoughts, oh no, having thoughts was okay; anyone could have thoughts. As long as they were normal, who hadn't, in the dead of night or in the classroom or the office, taken a quick glance and fantasized about someone?

But after all, this wasn't against the law.

Boss Zhou was too lazy to care whether Dead Servant really regarded him as a father or an enemy in his mind;

what he wanted was Dead Servant's actions and performance.

Dead Servant's body kept squirming, his wounds were healing rapidly, and at the same time, his body was visibly becoming more solid.

The increase in bone density or muscle density

also brought

an improvement in his aura,

especially when an ancient rune appeared on Dead Servant's chest.

At this moment,

Dead Servant completely shed his usual silly and foolish image,

becoming very tough and aggressive.

It was quite embarrassing,

but at this moment,

Boss Zhou really sensed a touch from his "bloodline."

He had given this rune,

and now that the rune was being activated,

Zhou Ze would definitely sense it.

When the bookstore practiced team battles, Dead Servant was used as a team control support, but in fact, both Lawyer An and Zhou Ze knew that with the inheritance of an ancient rune, even if it was just a bit of shattered inheritance, Dead Servant was definitely more than just a plant-person standing there praying for good weather.

The black down jacket man with a gui (tortoise) head mark on his forehead watched his brother's change

without much surprise or panic,

even letting out a smile.

This smile

made his originally hideous and somewhat dirty face

even more distorted and discordant,

but you could feel his heartfelt joy.

He was really happy for his brother.

These two brothers were truly a morbid pair.

The younger brother died, and the older brother forcibly "revived" him, but turned him into a fish-man.

The older brother also died, and now he was also alive. It was like Plants vs. Zombies; this guy was playing two roles. You couldn't even tell if Dead Servant had created a new species of plant or pioneered a new lineage of zombies.

But looking at each other, they were quite happy, feeling that the other had become successful, and they were satisfied.

Boss Zhou thought that these two brothers could really be packaged and sent to star in a tearjerker; it would definitely be a natural performance.

Next,

was a very boring process.

Dead Servant pounced,

and the younger brother also pounced,

the two used all kinds of ways to fight and struggle; you could see the wantonness of the zombie baleful aura and also feel the eruption of the demonic aura.

The wax museum was originally the home that Blackie had just cleaned up. Zhou Ze heard that Xu Qinglang seemed to have sent some furniture when she moved.

But now,

it was already a mess,

the originally empty house was now even more pitted, dilapidated.

In fact, Boss Zhou was still wondering if the clan that had once guarded the Bone Throne for Ying Gou would send someone over to take a look, and had been paying attention to this place, but after so long, there was still no movement from that side.

Back then, when Boss Zhou walked onto the phantom of the Bone Throne, he had made a lot of empty promises to those demon gods who had their bones taken by Ying Gou to pad the feet of his chair. Boss Zhou couldn't guarantee whether he could cash them in, but if he had the chance to fool a few more demon gods into being his henchmen, then life would probably be more comfortable.

In fact, everyone has anxieties. Boss Zhou's habit of hoarding and the trend of Chinese people buying houses regardless of whether they have money or not are essentially the same.

The reason why Boss Zhou didn't buy a house wasn't because he didn't need one, but because his maid had already bought many for him.

Besides, his cook also had a lot of houses.

Blackie kept watching the battle nervously from the side. She was very worried, not the kind of worry that was put on. Boss Zhou seemed much calmer, even a little dissatisfied.

It's been so long,

how come this turtle shell is so hard?

Hasn't he cracked it open yet?

The scene of brothers killing each other was indeed very exciting and could hardly inspire people's thinking. Was this the decline of morality or the distortion of human nature?

But after being distorted for a long time, one becomes numb.

Fortunately, one thing Zhou Ze was sure of was that Dead Servant really didn't hold back.

He was really trying to kill his younger brother, but his younger brother was too tough, too hard to gnaw on.

Boss Zhou looked down at the time again.

He felt that he had spent too much time on this farce.

Besides,

he still had a question now.

Who exactly did this silly younger brother

kidnap?

To be honest, if something unexpected really happened, and it was confirmed that Yingying had been kidnapped, Boss Zhou's attitude would definitely not be like this now.

If Doctor Lin was kidnapped, Boss Zhou would be nervous.

If Xu Qinglang was kidnapped, Boss Zhou would feel sorry for him for a moment, and then resolutely refuse to compromise for Xu Qinglang's sake, and wait until they killed him before avenging Old Xu.

But these people were either in the store or at home now, and were confirmed to be safe.

Who else was his woman?

"Boss, why don't you take action? He, he, he really has tried his best."

Blackie began to plead.

She had always been a very pragmatic and down-to-earth person; someone who wasn't down-to-earth wouldn't like farming.

Now, she was no longer worried about whether the fratricide would make Dead Servant feel uncomfortable. These were actually minor details, because after fighting until now, she didn't think Dead Servant would win 100%.

If he lost...

She felt that the boss might watch his brother-in-law kill Dead Servant and not care.

Anyway, the boss's attitude towards Dead Servant was indifferent and a little wary, but he had also raised this "pet" for so long, and killing him with his own hands again seemed unnecessary.

If he was just "consumed" like this, it would feel like he had died in the right place.

Zhou Ze looked at Blackie

and said:

"If I take action, I will beat his younger brother until he only has half a breath left, and then the final step of finishing him off will still be left to him. Which do you think is more cruel?"

Blackie's pupils shrank suddenly,

but she still decisively said:

"This is what he should do."

Neither of them talked about whether Dead Servant would have hatred in his heart.

Because there was no love between Zhou Ze and Dead Servant.

Tilting his neck,

Boss Zhou took a step forward,

ten fingernails grew out,

He was ready to end this brotherly karma,

and at the same time,

he also wanted to ask Ying Gou,

He felt a little embarrassed that he didn't let him eat monkey brains last time.

But old turtle meat should also be very nutritious, right?

Could they make do with it for a meal, at least filling their stomachs?

The family was poor, and it wasn't easy to come across something delicious, plus the one at home had a huge appetite and was always shouting for it, never satisfied.

Worrying,

worrying.

Oh,

that's not right.

Forgot,

Before beating him half to death and letting Dead Servant finish the last step, he had to figure out who else was his woman?

The two brothers who were entangled in the fight also sensed Zhou Ze's approach.

A look of helplessness appeared on Dead Servant's face.

He knew

what it would mean when his boss took action.

And his younger brother

shouted hatefully:

"Zhou, you're done for, your woman is also done for! I guarantee she will suffer a fate worse than death, be tormented, and suffer the most miserable humiliation in the world!

And you

will bear the滔天 (tao tian) anger from the sea!"

Boss Zhou "hehe" laughed,

his fingernails collided slightly,

then raised them,

and said:

"Okay, then I'll let you see what real,来自大海的愤怒 (lai zi da hai de fen nu) (the anger from the sea) is!"

…………

Tong City's western suburbs are considered an industrial park, but it has declined. In recent years, the real economy hasn't been very good, and many factories are now empty.

In a semi-empty factory in the corner,

many formations were arranged.

These formations were all arranged using turtle shells and fish scales as raw materials, carrying a strong aura of the sea.

This factory was now being used as a temporary warehouse, storing some industrial alcohol.

At this time,

a woman who looked like Doctor Lin was leaning against the wall lazily.

Why say a woman who looked like someone?

Because under the woman, a long white tail was swaying freely.

Beside the woman were several large plastic buckets.

A bucket was soaking a huge shrimp, a bucket was soaking a huge crab,

and some other seafood,

all of which were unusually large!

The White Fox burped,

got up,

and lay down in front of a large plastic bucket,

reaching in and breaking off a crab leg,

taking it out,

and taking a bite.

The hard shell was directly crushed,

"Ptooey!"

Spitting out the crab shell in her mouth,

she bit off a large piece of the exposed snow-white crab meat,

emmm…

She smacked her lips while eating,

and a blush of fragrance appeared on the White Fox's face.

Honestly speaking,

since becoming a five-tailed fox,

she had always maintained her composure, holding a detached attitude,

and it had really been a long, long time since she had been so indulgent.

These

were all from the people who "kidnapped" her that day,

which were those shrimp soldiers and crab generals who had become spirits.

That day, she followed Zhou Ze's instructions to send Doctor Lin home, and happened to encounter them.

"Hehehehehe…"

The White Fox smiled as she ate,

and took another bite of crab meat,

pouting,

and said:

"Drunken crab, delicious."
