Chapter 292 No Padded Room

There was no foreshadowing,

Nor any warning,

The shadow just appeared suddenly,

Bringing its ideals, bringing its logic,

And almost,

Almost brought a catastrophic disaster

To the entire bookstore.

If the bookstore ended up with only Boss Zhou as a lone commander,

Then what would be the point of the bookstore's existence?

Perhaps,

This is life,

This is existence,

Even if you’re already dead,

Even if you're a ghost messenger,

You can't escape this fate.

As long as you're still "alive",

Then you must be prepared to accept the surprises life brings you at any time,

Or,

Threats!

Zhou Ze's gaze was very calm, not the violent anger from before, but a genuine calm, because Zhou Ze at this moment was not the Zhou Ze from before.

It was like a group of children intensely playing marbles, staring wide-eyed at each other.

If an adult were to participate,

That would already be a very shameful thing,

If you still stared wide-eyed along with them,

Damn,

Have you no sense of shame?

His body slowly began to shrivel, but this time the shriveling wasn't very deep; his whole person basically maintained its original appearance, only the fangs at the corners of his mouth became even deeper.

"Congratulations, you have angered me, therefore, I shall act on behalf of Heaven to punish you!"

"Chatterbox."

Zhou Ze used his long fingernail to gently pick at his ear, then flicked it.

"Buzz!"

The shadow disappeared from its original spot,

Without warning!

However,

Zhou Ze suddenly reached out and grabbed forward,

As if he were just casually waving his hand,

But in the next instant,

The shadow appeared in front of Zhou Ze as if it had willingly offered its neck into Zhou Ze's palm, the neck also delivered to Zhou Ze's hand.

"Snap!"

Clean,

Swift,

Not uttering as much crap as the shadow did,

Nor bothering to spout some nonsense about acting on behalf of Heaven to enforce justice,

Zhou Ze just snapped the shadow's neck, and the shadow's body twisted along with it, then sparked with fire, directly bursting into flames, turning into a sky full of sparks, a fleeting moment of glory.

Before,

The shadow was fast, yes, but its actions had long been seen through by Zhou Ze, who could even play a waiting game.

Not only in strategy but also in tactics, Zhou Ze was scornful of it.

However,

When one layer of human skin disappeared,

The next layer of human skin immediately appeared again.

The shadow reappeared, appearing on Zhou Ze's left.

Zhou Ze's earlobe twitched slightly,

He was listening,

Distinguishing,

Like a puppet show, no matter how lifelike the puppets were, there was at least a string controlling them from behind.

If you don't find that string,

You can only continuously destroy its layers of human skin,

Who knows how much stock this guy actually has?

He smacked his lips lightly,

Having only confirmed a general direction,

He hadn't heard clearly.

Zhou Ze muttered softly to himself, and at that moment, the sound of a xiao flute rang out.

The sound of the xiao,

Almost became the theme song of tonight, like an invisible nightmare, shrouding the heads of everyone in the bookstore, bringing repression and terror.

Zhou Ze stood in place,

Motionless,

But his brows furrowed slightly,

"This sound,

Is a little annoying."

Immediately afterward,

Zhou Ze's two fangs began to collide and grind against each other.

"Snap...snap...snap..."

This was the sound of grinding teeth,

Many people have a habit of grinding their teeth while sleeping, it's very common and often heard.

Faced with this terrifying sound of the xiao,

Zhou Ze began to grind his teeth.

"Wuwuwu...wuwuwu...wuwuwu..."

The sound of the xiao was melodious and winding, full of twists and turns, captivating.

"Snap...snap...snap...snap..."

The sound of grinding teeth, well, still the sound of grinding teeth, without any rhythm, it seemed like he was purely just grinding his teeth.

This seemed like a very uncoordinated confrontation, a somewhat fanciful confrontation,

But gradually,

With a crisp sound coming from the jade xiao,

On its surface,

A crack actually appeared!

"Snap...snap...snap..."

Zhou Ze continued to grind his teeth, a smile on his lips, as if he were chewing gum, or as if he were watching a show from the sidelines.

"Snap...snap...snap..."

This wasn't the sound of grinding teeth,

But rather the sound of cracks appearing on the jade xiao, one after another,

Carrying a heart-palpitating aura.

"Da!"

Zhou Ze suddenly clenched his teeth,

After the most intense collision between the two fangs,

The jade xiao completely snapped, splitting into two pieces!

The shadow was almost completely stunned.

Then, Zhou Ze appeared in front of the shadow, which didn't even resist and was directly pierced through by Zhou Ze,

Immediately afterward,

Torn apart!

"Hiss..."

Zhou Ze's earlobe shook slightly again,

The sound, he had captured it.

Hidden there, was it?

The third shadow appeared very quickly,

But it was bewildered after it appeared,

Because it discovered that its opponent,

That ghost messenger,

Was no longer here.

Because Zhou Ze had already appeared next to a trash can on a street corner in the distance,

And directly kicked that trash can over!

"Bang!"

The trash can exploded directly, and a person jumped out from inside, taking Zhou Ze's kick head-on.

This person was wearing a green, old coat, his figure was very hunched, and a piece of white paper was stuck to his face, but he should be an old man.

There were two holes in the white paper, just enough to allow a pair of eyes to be exposed to see outside.

"Who exactly are you? You're not a ghost messenger!"

Zhou Ze didn't answer,

He had no interest in playing any dialogue game with a dying man.

After rushing over,

He simply and decisively... flattened him!

Zhou Ze's body crashed into the old man, the old man's body began to retreat, smashing through a wall, but the momentum didn't diminish, and he smashed through another wall, followed by a series of walls!

One could imagine that when those people came to work and open their businesses the next day, they should be shocked and baffled by the fact that their own store and the store next door had been forcibly connected, and perhaps they would even wonder what kind of thieving gang was so arrogant!

The shadow appeared, landing behind the old man, and the two of them used a substitution technique, the old man shifting to the other side, while the shadow shattered again.

The two of them returned to their original positions,

Under the broken street lamp,

Across the small road,

Staring at each other.

"Who exactly are you!"

The old man started asking again.

Zhou Ze still ignored him, and rushed up again.

The old man's body suddenly swelled up at this moment, and red talismans fluttered out from his sleeves, sticking to his body.

"Defeat the %￥#@% Cut % Snake God!"

With a loud roar,

The old man's strength seemed to have suddenly received some kind of boost.

This was a superstition, also an obsession, and even, one could say, a faith.

Why did the old man always like to talk about reason and uphold justice in his words and actions? Because he needed to maintain this faith, it was his foundation, even the meaning of his existence, and also the source of his power.

Even if he acted one way in public and another way in private, this form, this process, this face and slogan, still had to be shouted, and shouted loudly, shouted sweetly, even hypnotizing himself.

"Bang!"

The fists of both sides collided together,

"Bang!"

Immediately afterward,

Another punch!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two sides exchanged several punches in succession.

After the last punch,

Zhou Ze remained still,

While the old man's feet sparked, sliding backward for more than ten meters, his liberation shoes even caught fire, turning into ashes, and deep dents were left on the road.

But Zhou Ze was very dissatisfied,

Although he had the upper hand,

The fact that the other party could actually exchange punches with him,

Made him very uncomfortable.

At this moment,

He closed his eyes slightly,

As if talking to himself,

"Abandon your vigilance towards me, if you want me to help you kill the person in front of you, then remove all precautions against me and let me unleash myself freely."

As soon as the words fell,

An expression of enjoyment appeared on Zhou Ze's face,

Clearly,

Boss Zhou had agreed,

As long as he killed the old man in front of him,

Tortured him to death,

Avenged himself!

Boss Zhou was willing to pay any price, without the slightest hesitation!

"Hiss..."

Zhou Ze let out a soft groan,

His body rapidly shriveled down,

The blackness in his eyes was as thick as ink, constantly rippling outwards,

At the same time,

His whole body slowly bent over,

Opening his mouth,

Fangs and tongue,

Like the most perfect and harmonious combination,

His whole person entered his most favorite and most comfortable state.

"Roar!"

A low roar came,

Zhou Ze disappeared from his spot.

And at this time,

The old man shouted, "The right path of the world is full of changes!"

His figure also disappeared from his spot.

The next second,

The two sides met midway.

Then,

Came:

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Not like the previous exchange of punches,

Nor was it a fight that was difficult to separate,

Instead, Boss Zhou directly grabbed the other party's ankle,

And dragged the old man around the ground, slamming him incessantly like a sandbag!

The speed was unimaginable!

This absolute power and speed superiority,

Was even something the old man himself hadn't expected!

…………

"Bang!"

The second-floor bedroom of the bookstore,

The shadow shattered.

The deathsworn with his intestines pierced and his abdomen torn open knelt on the ground, his body only left with slight tremors.

Xu Qingniang's face slowly floated to the surface of the water, the bathtub was full of his blood, but there was still a slight rise and fall in his chest.

…………

"Bang!"

On the other side of the street,

The shadow shattered,

The three demon souls were almost completely transparent, only a little bit of a halo remained.

The old Taoist lay on the ground, struggling to lift his head,

Revealing a hateful smile, before slamming his head back to the ground heavily and falling unconscious.

The little monkey wiped his tears while taking out the Yin-Yang Record to face those demon souls,

The black cat was the first to return to the Yin-Yang Record,

Granny Ba and Huang A'san looked at each other, then also entered the Yin-Yang Record, they were too weak now, leaving this place would likely even allow wandering ghosts to threaten them, so they had no choice but to lower their heads and choose to re-enter the Yin-Yang Record, this was also for survival!

The animals in the old mountain forest, growing up in that environment since they were young, as long as they could survive, there was nothing they couldn't submit to.

…………

"I told you, human realm!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"I told you, the right path!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"I told you, full of changes!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The two sides of the road had been smashed by Zhou Ze into pits several meters deep, and the old man's body had long since been a bloody mess, most of the bones were completely exposed, it was truly very tragic.

"Back then even... the Lord of Mount Tai... in front of me... didn't dare... to discuss... the right path of the world..."

Zhou Ze released his hand,

The old man, like mud, was trampled under his foot.

"Boss... awesome... sob sob sob..."

Hanging on the telephone pole, almost out of breath, Bai Yingying,

At this moment, she actually still used her strength to open her eyes, full of joy, and shouted loudly.

Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment,

He turned his head,

Looking at this female zombie.

From the level of life, the two were infinitely far apart, even, Bai Yingying in his eyes was just an ant, he was unwilling to be called a zombie together with Bai Yingying, this was a blasphemy against him.

But looking at this girl, who looked like a high school student and whose zombie core had been taken out,

Even in this state,

She was still cheering for him.

Zhou Ze didn't know why,

He actually stretched out his hand as if possessed by a ghost,

And gently scratched Bai Yingying's nose,

Uncharacteristically revealing a normal smile:

"You're just too naughty."
