Chapter 153 Curse

Damn it,

my neck is about to snap…

Lawyer An felt extremely aggrieved.

He’d kindly helped the two of you take down the evil spirit.

You don’t thank me, fine.

You’re not rushing to send the evil spirit to hell to earn merit points, whatever.

But why are you strangling me?

Yes, your wife is beautiful,

but your paranoia is a bit too much, isn’t it?

Is your wife Tang Sanzang’s flesh?

Is she really that attractive?

“Screech…………”

Lawyer An twisted his wrist. He didn't dare let Zhou Ze keep strangling him. If the guy went all the way and broke his neck, he’d be screwed.

Compliance,

but not this kind of compliance.

Zhou Ze only felt his arms being seized, followed by a tremendous force, and he instantly lost his balance and was lifted up.

It was a very simple and direct response, but it demonstrated the perfect mastery of strength and skill.

The next moment, Zhou Ze's other hand grabbed down, black fingernails emitting a strange luster.

Destiny?

I’ll give you destiny!

Lawyer An frowned and immediately raised his left hand.

“Clang!”

It sounded like swords clashing together, very harsh, and the sound system in the nightclub emitted a painful, ear-splitting tone at this moment.

Zhou Ze only felt a tingling pain in the tips of his five fingers, and he subconsciously took several steps back.

Lawyer An looked at the five bloody marks on his palm in astonishment,

somewhat incredulous.

He knew how tough his hands were, but even so, they were still cut open by the other party in one exchange.

Just then, the two girls who had been knocked down by Lawyer An took the opportunity to get up and try to escape. Little Loli reached out and grabbed one of them.

Zhou Ze grabbed the other who was trying to rush past him.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lawyer An didn't hesitate any longer and rushed towards the back door, too lazy to even utter a harsh word, running away with great joy and decisiveness.

Boss Zhou, holding down the girl beneath him, didn't chase after him.

The two of them, each holding one girl, walked out of the nightclub. Zhou Ze also paid special attention to the young man he had knocked down earlier, but found that he was no longer in his original position.

They were on guard all the way,

but all the way until they left the nightclub,

that ghost messenger from Changzhou who had tried to compete with him in the realm of salted fish didn't show up again.

This made Zhou Ze feel somewhat relaxed but also a little puzzled.

Why did he feel like the ghosts in Tong City were all stubborn,

insisting on fighting him to the death one after another,

while the ghosts here in Changzhou,

were more compliant than the last?

…………

“Why didn't you let me chase him?”

The young man stood on the second floor, rubbing the bruise on his shoulder while asking with some dissatisfaction.

The woman glanced at him and said unhappily, “Are you blind? An Buqi didn't even dare to provoke him head-on, and didn't even resist fiercely when he was being strangled. You still want to go forward and join in?”

The young man nodded unwillingly. He had seen that scene.

Don't look at An Buqi's usual image as a money-grubbing lawyer, but that guy was a ruthless character back in the day. Although the Netherworld had stripped him of his status, he hadn't fallen to the point where he could be easily looked down upon.

“Then, does this guy's matter need to be reported to those below?” the young man asked.

In ordinary spy dramas, reporting news to “superiors” is usually referred to as “above,” but here, saying “below” is indeed justifiable.

After all, the superiors are all staying underground, so they can be considered underground workers.

“Not for the time being. First, convey An Buqi's attitude downwards, try to make it as ambiguous as possible, and tell those below that we will continue to work hard to win him over.”

“Do we still need to cover up for him? He clearly looks down on us. Those below need to know this, and we need to find a way to get someone to deal with him, otherwise…”

“Idiot, the task given to us from below is to win him over to become one of us. Do you want to tell them that we are incompetent, that we can't do anything except eat and wait to die?”

“Okay, I understand.”

“Also, investigate which region these two ghost messengers are from, and find out what relationship Liu Chuyu, that model worker, has with them.”

“I understand, I'll go do it.”

………………

“What are you looking at?”

Little Loli asked Zhou Ze, then seemed to realize something and said:

“Afraid they'll chase us out?”

Zhou Ze didn't respond.

“They’re too lazy to do things themselves, and we’re helping them clean up. What reason do they have to cause trouble?”

Although she had the body of a loli, she was still an experienced senior ghost messenger, so Little Loli spoke with a strong “jianghu flavor.” (martial arts world)

It was like holding a machete and shouting, “We, Hong Xing, are afraid of nothing from Dong Xing! (Triad gangs).

If you don't like it, go and chop them!”

The two women were being held by one person each and were still struggling non-stop. Obviously, they knew what their fate would be if they were caught and taken back.

Returning to Hell,

equaled,

a fate worse than death!

“Can you make them quiet for a bit?” Zhou Ze asked.

If they were dragged out like this, some concerned citizens might call the police and report a kidnapping.

“That's easy.”

As she spoke, Little Loli bit her right index finger and then flicked drops of blood towards the two girls. A drop of blood appeared on the forehead of each of them, and they immediately fell silent, like puppets. Zhou Ze gently pushed them, and they automatically walked forward numbly.

Zhou Ze looked at Little Loli.

Little Loli scratched her head. “You can learn this method too. It's a little trick that’s quite effective for dealing with ghosts who have been caught and subdued.

But you probably won't have much success with it. Your blood is tainted with zombie energy, and it might directly suppress them to death.

Oh, right,

are we going to send them to hell right here?”

“Let's send them to Liu Chuyu's place first, so he can get a share of the merit points.”

Little Loli shrugged, not objecting. Bosses always like to use these small favors to move their employees. If she, as a subordinate, didn't seize the chance to flatter the boss by saying how considerate he was, she would be lacking in awareness. Naturally, she wouldn't do something stupid like mock him at this time.

Walking out of the nightclub,

the sky outside was covered with dark clouds, a black mass, and the wind was getting stronger.

If the old Taoist was nearby at this moment,

he would definitely approach Zhou Ze and shout:

“Protect the emperor,

there's demonic energy here!”

“Why is it getting dark? I didn't notice anything unusual,” Little Loli said in confusion. If evil spirits were wreaking havoc, it could change the weather within a small area, but it would definitely be accompanied by resentment.

To explain it in a more scientific way, it's like the resentment emitted by ghosts forming an independent magnetic field, affecting the nearby climate.

The most exaggerated and awesome of all was the drought demon,

as the saying goes, "When a drought demon appears, the land turns red for a thousand miles."

“Typhoon ‘Ampil’ is making landfall today, so it should be windy and rainy.”

“Then should we take a taxi back?” Little Loli asked.

Coincidentally, a bus was coming from not far away, and there was a bus stop right in front of the nightclub.

The bus had a “11” sign hanging on it, and there weren't many people on the bus.

“I remember this line passes near Liu Chuyu's house, so let's take the bus. It'll be more convenient.”

The bus stopped at the bus stop. No one got off, and Zhou Ze and Little Loli each pushed the girls in front of them onto the bus.

The two girls obediently sat down numbly in the empty seats as instructed, and Little Loli and Zhou Ze sat in the seats next to them.

The bus started again and continued to move forward slowly.

“By the way, what are you planning to do about that Dean Lin thing? You're not pushing her away, but you're not breaking up either. I'm getting tired of watching it.”

“No rush.”

“Heh,

men.

I just find it annoying. We should just be good ghost messengers. There's no need to act out some melodramatic play, with all the lingering feelings, separations and reunions, you love me, I love you, fate playing tricks,

don't you get tired?”

“You're still young, you wouldn't understand.”

Little Loli curled her lips, too lazy to mention her past glories.

The bus had been driving for a while. At first, Zhou Ze didn't notice anything, but gradually, Zhou Ze noticed something was wrong.

The most obvious problem was,

that the few passengers on the bus were each holding a yellow oiled paper umbrella, and even the bus driver had one next to him.

“There's a problem.” Little Loli also turned back to look at Zhou Ze, who was sitting behind her. “Our luck isn't very good. It seems like we've gotten on a ghost bus.”

A ghost bus.

Zhou Ze had actually ridden one before. Back then, the driver who had died but was still driving a DiDi to earn money used a paper car to transport passengers to earn tuition for his child. Zhou Ze still remembered that he had accidentally burned a hole in the car door with his cigarette butt.

There are many, many ghost stories about buses, and many different versions. If ordinary people were to get on this bus and realize something was wrong, they would probably be scared pale and try to find a way to escape.

But Zhou Ze and Little Loli were both ghost messengers,

so riding a ghost bus felt like a habitual thief entering a police station,

as familiar as the bus from their own unit.

After all, they were in the same system,

so using the company car for personal use was probably fine.

It seemed like the Netherworld didn't have any disciplinary commissions.

“The typhoon is here, the dark clouds are blocking the sun, and we both have heavy yin energy, and we're carrying two people possessed by evil spirits, so it's not surprising that we encountered a ghost bus.”

Zhou Ze stretched and suddenly thought of something. There was something he hadn't been able to ask before because of his status, but he could ask now.

“By the way, why did you deliberately scare that driver when you had that car accident? That driver died in the accident. If I hadn't been there, your body would have kicked the bucket too.”

Before, Zhou Ze thought that Little Loli was just being playful, thinking it was high-class to play with people's lives.

Later, Zhou Ze also understood that ghost messengers couldn't just kill people casually.

Little Loli was certainly willful, barbaric, unreasonable, loved to scheme, was sophisticated, stubborn, and self-willed,

but she was also a person who followed the rules.

“That matter? I thought you'd forgotten about it.”

“I've always remembered it.”

“I discovered that the driver had already died of some kind of disease, but the inertia of his life was still controlling him to continue doing what he was doing. It was a kind of inertia.

The old Taoist told me that you saw a student with corpse spots on his body who was still going to school and washing up in the dormitory as usual in the illusion of the Book of Life and Death, right? It's pretty much the same situation.”

Little Loli said unhappily:

“Because he didn't realize he was already dead and was still driving the car, I was worried that something would suddenly go wrong and cause a major tragedy, so I showed a little mercy and revealed my true form to try to scare him awake.

Who knew that the guy was easily frightened,

and directly stepped on the gas pedal and rushed up,

almost sending me back to hell to report again!”

As she spoke,

Little Loli turned her head and shouted in the direction of the bus driver:

“Master, please drive carefully. We're all from the same unit. It's okay to go a little slower. No one will blame you.”

I've been adjusting to the time difference lately, and I'm feeling drowsy all day. This is the only update for today. Long has to go to sleep.
