Chapter 1 I'll Just Clean It Up

Without going anywhere else, Zhou Ze found a public toilet nearby and put up a "Cleaning in Progress" sign at the entrance. Zhou Ze pinned the masseur down.

It wasn't that Boss Zhou liked this position, but that this masseur was too easy to escape. Even though the toilet only had one exit, as long as you gave him a chance and an opening, he could slip away through the sewer in the squatting pit.

Lawyer An arrived shortly after, paid the bill, got dressed, and came in, kicking the masseur.

"You motherfucker!"

From a personal perspective, his soul had almost been cut off by this guy, which was truly a spiritual castration.

From a public perspective, the people who had died from the "rabies" outbreak were also because of this guy.

This kick,

Felt good.

"Can you interrogate him?"

Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An. Generally speaking, Lawyer An was the best at this kind of thing, after all, he had seen hellish punishments.

Unexpectedly, Lawyer An shook his head and said, "I can't control this guy with my illusion. He almost backfired on me just now."

Zhou Ze sighed and said to the masseur,

"Then are you willing to talk about your identity and your purpose for doing these things?"

The masseur raised his head,

Ready to die!

Zhou Ze nodded.

"Then you can go die."

Saying that,

His fingernails pierced into the masseur's chest!

"Ugh…………"

The masseur's eyes widened,

Seeming a little incredulous,

So straightforward?

Aren't you going to ask more questions?

Couldn't I be tougher for a bit longer?

What about the process?

What about the routine?

What about the sincerity and steps for both sides?

Zhou Ze's fingernails stirred,

Only to hear a cracking sound from the other's body.

No blood flowed from the masseur's wound, not even liquid.

Zhou Ze retracted his fingernails and pulled out clumps of disgusting stuff that looked like hair.

"I…………"

The masseur wasn't dead,

And was about to speak.

"I'm fucking, you're so dirty!"

"Pfft!"

Fingernails pierced again!

You disgusted a deep germaphobe,

Go die!

"Ugh…………" The masseur.

"…………" Lawyer An.

Lawyer An really wanted to remind Zhou Ze that this guy seemed to be planning to confess something, but seeing that the boss seemed to be emotionally stimulated and kept piercing back and forth with his fingernails, he could only purse his lips and say nothing.

Finally, after stabbing about ten holes in the masseur's body, Zhou Ze stopped.

The masseur was like a deflated doll,

His body became a little shriveled.

This guy wasn't an ordinary person anymore. Perhaps he was before, but he definitely wasn't now. This had already been proven when he was able to follow the water flow down the sewer in the bathhouse.

So,

It wasn't too difficult to understand why these continuous stabs hadn't killed him completely. Of course, he must have been very uncomfortable.

"I………… I'll talk!"

The masseur admitted defeat.

Although he was neither human nor ghost now, he still wanted to live.

"Old An, watch him, I'll go wash my hands."

…………

The car stopped at the entrance of a village below Rugao County.

It was said to be a village, but it wasn't really anymore, because it had been relocated as part of the New Rural Construction project ten years ago. The villagers had long been resettled into rows of neat villas.

Originally, this was going to be a development project, and the village had been mostly demolished, but for some reason, the project was shelved, and this place became a ruin.

Zhou Ze, sitting in the passenger seat, pointed to the masseur who was tied up in the back with talisman papers pasted on his forehead and limbs,

And asked:

"Where did you get the talisman papers? Did you ask Old Daoist for them?"

"I asked him at first, but that guy told me this was an ancestral talisman paper, and there was only one left. He said they had all been used up before, and there was really only one left.

Then he took it out of his crotch, very preciously and reluctantly, with a painful expression, along with a few pubic hairs."

"Heh…………"

Boss Zhou smiled,

He had seen this scene many times. Every time Old Daoist used a talisman paper, he would say it was ancestral and the last one left.

But next time, he would touch his crotch and be guaranteed to find another one.

"Later, I used a new phone to exchange for twenty or thirty from Monkey."

Saying that, Lawyer An gestured resentfully, saying:

"I saw it. There was still a thick stack in Monkey's satchel."

Old Daoist was really good to Little Monkey.

"Damn it, I didn't have clothes on in the bathroom before, and I didn't have the talisman paper with me, otherwise, how could this guy have escaped."

Saying that, Lawyer An slapped the masseur a few times,

"Run, you run again!"

Boss Zhou didn't say anything. Abusing that guy didn't cause him any psychological discomfort. He knew how much pain those "rabies" patients had experienced before they died.

All of this was this guy's fault.

To some extent, he was more hateful than a serial killer.

"Is this the place?" Zhou Ze pointed to the abandoned village ahead, which only had a few houses still standing.

"Yes, you promised me, I'll tell you everything, and you'll let me go."

"Relax, relax, you also know that's impossible." Lawyer An waved his hand. "But seeing that you're behaving well and actively exposing and reporting your accomplices, I can extract your soul and send it to hell. As for whether you'll have another chance to be reincarnated in the end, it depends on the judgment of the underworld."

"Let's get out of the car and take a look."

Zhou Ze opened the car door and got out.

As soon as he got out of the car,

A salty and humid sea breeze hit his face. This village was very close to the sea.

Lawyer An walked to Zhou Ze's side and whispered, "That guy can't be that honest."

"It's impossible. Maybe he's planning to lead us to his lair and wait for his companions to rescue him."

As they spoke,

Three figures appeared at the entrance of the village.

An old man,

A little girl,

And a middle-aged man carrying a hoe,

Zhou Ze hadn't even noticed when these three had appeared. At this moment, they were standing at the entrance of the village, also standing in the wind, the sea breeze blowing, their bodies began to sway.

Like paper figures.

"These paper figures are wonderfully made."

Lawyer An tilted his head and looked carefully. "They're really damn exquisite."

"Guests have arrived. My master invites you."

The old man made a gesture of invitation.

Zhou Ze put his finger to his nose and smelled it, saying, "I've washed it many times, but there's still a smell."

"Seafood smell?"

"Bullshit, it's the smell of paste."

Zhou Ze stretched and continued:

"The guy in the car should be a paper figure filled with paste and stuffed with a lot of silk threads."

This kind of paste is often used as glue. It is a bowl of white stuff. Many people in rural areas who make paper figures still use this instead of ready-made glue.

"Let's go, let's go in and see what kind of deity it is."

"No matter what kind of deity it is, messing with my business is not allowed."

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An walked forward together, no longer paying attention to the guy in the car.

In fact,

They were already here,

The main person was likely inside, so they could ignore the small fries.

When they reached the entrance of the village,

Zhou Ze stopped next to the old man.

"Please."

The old man made another gesture of invitation.

Zhou Ze reached out,

And poked the old man.

"Pfft"

He poked a hole,

That could even let the wind through.

The old man didn't care and continued to smile, with good service quality.

Seeing this, Lawyer An stood in front of the little girl and said, "Do you want Uncle to let some air out of you?"

The little girl took a few steps forward and puffed out her chest, meaning, do as you please.

"I don't like this kind of too proactive."

Lawyer An shook his hand and stopped.

They walked into the village,

And walked to the front of the house that was still mostly intact,

The three paper figures took a few steps back and stopped moving.

"Creak…………"

The door was opened from the inside,

A young woman stood inside, wearing a floral dress, with her hair in a bun, her face delicate, a little pale.

"Tsk tsk, if this wasn't made of paper, that would be great."

Lawyer An said with some regret.

Because this woman was really pure, and really beautiful, ten thousand times better than those gaudy bitches sold on Taobao.

"You can suggest that the person who makes it use silicone next time."

Zhou Ze suggested.

"Please, both of you."

Zhou Ze and Lawyer An looked at each other and walked in.

There were no lights in the room. This place had been abandoned long ago, so it would be strange to have electricity. But two white candles were lit.

On a grand master chair,

Lay an old man,

The old man was old to the point of being unrecognizable,

The skin on his face was folded up and drooped down in layers, and his two small eyes were almost covered by the skin on his face. If you didn't look carefully, you really wouldn't be able to find them.

"Cough…………"

The old man's throat made a sound.

The woman who had been praised by Lawyer An for being very beautiful immediately knelt beside the old man, opened her mouth, and caught his phlegm.

Zhou Ze's chest rose and fell, and he whispered to Lawyer An next to him, "Do you still want her?"

"A beauty spittoon."

"A mermaid?"

"A phlegm spittoon, back in ancient times, maids used to serve people like this. How about it, is it perverted enough? It is said that it was invented by Yan Shifan, the son of Yan Song, a high official in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhou Ze didn't see any perverted disgust in Lawyer An's eyes, but rather a kind of eagerness.

The old man was like a withered vine,

He seemed to try very hard to roll his eyelids,

His small eyes glanced with great effort at Zhou Ze and Lawyer An standing in front of him,

Then he opened his mouth,

And suddenly spoke with full energy,

Saying:

"Lord Equality King,

Lu Pingzhi, a small clerk under the Ding Zi Hell of the Sixteen Small Hells,

Greets my two colleagues."

This was considered introducing himself.

Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An, only to see Lawyer An swallow hard, and then whispered to Zhou Ze:

"The ninth hall of the Ten Kings of Hell, King Lu of Equality, is in charge of the Iron Net Avici Hell in Fengdu City, and has sixteen small hells. He is a small clerk of the Ding Zi hell, one of these sixteen small hells."

Zhou Ze was confused. He didn't know these twists and turns in hell and could only directly ask:

"Is he a big official?"

"A seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, what do you think?"

"This…"

"This old thing is using his official position to suppress people."

"Cough cough... Are you two local ghost officers?"

After the old man introduced himself, his aura seemed to rise as well.

He had the air of a Beijing official despising local civil servants in a small eighteenth-tier county.

Lawyer An took a deep breath,

And took a step forward,

Shouting:

"Cough cough, listen up!

I am,

A messenger under the authority of Mount Tai!

A helmsman bestowed by the Nether Sea on a boat of the dead!

The number one gold medal inspector in the underworld!

An Buqi!"

"…………" Zhou Ze.

"…………" The old man.

After speaking,

Lawyer An immediately pointed at the old man and cursed:

"Damn you!

You've fallen to this point, and you still want to scare people with your official position?

How's my official position?

Aren't you scared to death?"
