"Sorry,
I bothered you!"

Immediately afterward,
came a "bang,"
the golden door being slammed shut,
decisive,
clean,
without the slightest hesitation.

It was as if it had gone to the other extreme from the slow, serious, and solemn feeling it had when it first appeared.

Even,
a low curse could be faintly heard from inside the door, fading away:
"Which grandson is trying to screw me over..."

"..........." Bald Monk.

"Crack..."
It was as if something extremely precious
shattered,
scattering all over the ground.

The Bald Monk's body, which was only skin and bones,
swayed for a moment,
and then,
with a "thud,"
fell backward.

Why did this happen?
How could it be like this?
How could it actually be like this?

Greater sorrow than the death of the heart,
perhaps,
what is truly despairing is not the physical conquest, but the spiritual destruction!

Zhou Ze, sitting on the Bone Throne, twitched unharmoniously at the corner of his mouth,
the magma stopped churning,
the bones beneath him stopped baring their fangs and claws,
the souls in the River of Styx all fell silent,
a familiar crow seemed to be planning to fly a circle above his head and then shout for a while, but upon seeing this scene, it immediately turned around and flew away in fright.

A few fallen leaves were blown over by the wind, but were blown back by the heat of the magma before they could get close, failing to float over.

The Buddha?
The Buddha?
The Buddha!

He had put on the most solemn display,
revealed his most authentic majesty,
and thought he would meet a junior who could sit on equal footing with him,
but what was this?

He had even put on a welcoming ceremony,
arranged a guard of honor,
only to find that he was winking at a blind man?

Zhou Ze felt a bit lost for a moment,
seemingly unable to accept this sudden change,
it was similar to how he felt when he first woke up,
completely unprepared.

After the confusion,
came anger,
Zhou Ze suddenly stood up,
the Bone Throne behind him disappeared,
the magma on the ground also dissipated,
and even the souls in the river collectively vanished without a trace.

The sky was still the same sky,
the road was still the same road,
the riverbank was still the same riverbank,
nothing had changed,
everything had returned to its original state.

Zhou Ze was still standing there,
he felt like an idiot now,
what exactly was he doing?

"Where is... your Buddha?"
Zhou Ze shouted at the Bald Monk who was lying there motionless,
the Bald Monk did not respond,
he had already exhausted his life force.

"This is... what you call... the Buddha?"
Zhou Ze took a deep breath,
one hand subconsciously grabbing his chest,
but this time it was not to stab himself,
this time,
his chest really hurt,
it hurt from anger!

He didn't hesitate to reveal his identity to meet the Buddha,
but the Buddha was directly intimidated by his aura,
Zhou Ze could even be sure
that the Buddha didn't even see him,
but sensed his aura after the door was opened a crack,
and immediately closed the door in fright,
and said he had come to the wrong place?
And said he had bothered him?

Of course,
it was a good thing that his identity hadn't been discovered, if the fact that he was still alive was leaked to the higher echelons, it would definitely cause great turmoil, and a small bookstore in Tong City wouldn't be able to withstand it.

But Zhou Ze didn't feel the slightest bit of relief because of this,
he didn't hesitate to reveal his identity to meet the true Buddha,
but the Buddha was like this?

Zhou Ze's arm began to tremble, and the painful expression on his face deepened,
he stared fiercely at the Bald Monk's corpse,
forcibly reaching out his hand,
intending to turn the Bald Monk into a zombie,
so that he would never enter reincarnation,
this was the price he would pay for giving himself a trick!

Didn't you want to become a Buddha?
I'll make you never be reborn,
and become a rebellious existence that is not tolerated by the Three Realms!

But just as this hand stretched out halfway,
Zhou Ze suddenly closed his eyes,
and then knelt on the ground,
gritting his teeth,
trying to struggle,
but in the end, he directly grabbed the railing on the edge of the road,
his body trembled,
and he remained motionless.

"Clatter..."
The black chains that had been locked on the dark-skinned girl for a long time finally disappeared,
the dark-skinned girl instinctively wanted to get up, she wanted to run,
but her legs completely disobeyed her.

She sat on the ground, looking at her legs, wanting to look at the man squatting on the edge of the railing with a resentful gaze, but for some reason, the feeling of anger instantly vanished as her gaze was about to sweep toward him.

She,
didn't dare!

Yes,
after seeing the scene just now,
the so-called anger,
the so-called dissatisfaction,
the so-called hatred,
were completely wiped away,
that kind of despair, a kind of desolation in which the body and soul were crushed over and over again!

She was completely conquered.

Gritting her teeth,
raising her head,
she really wanted to cry,
wanted to stay in grandma's arms and cry,
she regretted burying grandma so early several times today,
and even if she buried her, she shouldn't have buried her so deep,
and if she buried her so deep, she shouldn't have left any marks,
now she couldn't even find her if she wanted to dig grandma out.

Unlike the dark-skinned girl who was sitting there feeling sorry for herself,
after seeing Zhou Ze suddenly leaning against the railing and not moving,
Ying'er immediately realized something,
struggled to get up,
and stumbled to Zhou Ze's side.

"Boss? Boss?"

Ying'er supported Zhou Ze, who still had his eyes closed at this time, as if he hadn't woken up yet, but Ying'er knew that it must be her boss inside his body now.

"Hey!"

Ying'er looked at the dark-skinned girl who was still sitting there feeling sorry for herself,
the little black girl had a silly look on her face at this time,
looking up,
gazing at the sky,
as if she was lost in the confusion of her life.

"Hey, where's the antidote?"
Ying'er shouted, and the other party reacted.

"Antidote?" The dark-skinned girl was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhou Ze: "Passed out again?"

Are you f***ing playing a face-changing game,
poisoning him then passing out,
intermittently?

"Where's the antidote!
If you don't take out the antidote,
I'll hit you!"

Ying'er now took out the posture of an older sister treating a newly-arrived younger sister.

She also saw the scene before, especially the black girl's legs, and she also understood what that one had done to her, although there were some twists and turns, this black girl was now tied to the door of the bookstore.

To put it nicely, she was an employee,
to put it bluntly, she was actually a slave!

Well,
she was the object that Ying'er needed to train,
the boss was so busy, handling a myriad of affairs every day... um,
in short, the boss definitely had no time to take care of it,
she had to take responsibility,
and educate her well, so that she would understand etiquette!

"Antidote..."
The black girl touched her body, then pointed at Zhou Ze and said:
"It was all crushed by him, it's gone."

"..........." Ying'er.

Just then, Zhou Ze's eyes suddenly opened, and then he subconsciously covered his forehead, his head hurt so much.

But then,
he immediately stopped holding his forehead,
but covered his chest,
f***,
his chest hurt even more.

Zhou Ze lowered his head,
looked at the location of his chest,
which bastard almost made a hole in his chest?

Although it had already scabbed over,
it still looked very scary.

"Boss, you're awake?"
Ying'er immediately hugged Zhou Ze.

"Yeah, I'm awake, be good."

Zhou Ze reached out and stroked Ying'er's hair, and then, Zhou Ze saw the black girl sitting not far away.

Especially the black girl's legs,
the way the blue veins were exposed and the way she couldn't stand and move,
made Zhou Ze click his tongue:

"Tsk tsk, Ying'er, you're pretty ruthless."

Boss Zhou liked to fight straight, basically killing if he could, he wouldn't be perverted enough to play some abuse play.

"Ah, Boss, you did this, oh no, that one did this."

"That one?"
Zhou Ze shook his head in confusion,
"Did he come out?"

"Yeah, it was so exciting!"
Ying'er waved her hands,
"It was more exciting than watching a 3D movie."

"Huh?"
Zhou Ze couldn't understand how this was related to a 3D movie, but immediately asked:
"By the way, where's the monk?"

"Dead."

"Dead? Killed by him?"

"Yes, oh no, no, that monk seemed to have killed himself."

"Killed himself?"
So magical?

Alright, now that he knew that one had come out, then the nearby threats should be resolved, and Zhou Ze was relieved.

After all, if that one didn't clean up the nearby threats before going back, he would have to come out again, and if he couldn't come out, then Zhou Ze would definitely be in a weakened state, and the two of them would have to gg together.

Zhou Ze looked at the black girl again,
thinking to himself that Ying Gou had done a good job this time,
knowing that the black girl was useful and keeping her for himself,
inexplicably,
Zhou Ze felt a warmth from himself,
well,
it could indeed be said that he warmed himself.

What Boss Zhou didn't know was that,
when he was unconscious,
when Ying Gou controlled his body,
he originally wanted to kill the black girl directly,
but at that moment,
he directly "felt heartache and couldn't breathe."

In fact, later when Ying Gou wanted to directly dig out his heart and play tug-of-war,
Boss Zhou in a coma didn't react much,
if it wasn't for the tenacious Bald Monk continuously jumping around crazily to attract aggro and attention,
even going so far as to create an "open door",
and stimulate the blood in Ying Gou's body,
Ying Gou might have been able to play a tug-of-war game with himself for a long time,
just like Zhou Botong playing left and right fighting with himself,
except that Ying Gou played it more bloody.

"Help me up!"

"Okay."

Zhou Ze supported Bai Ying'er's arm and wanted to stand up,
but at this time Bai Ying'er was also exhausted,
Boss Zhou's body had just been used by Ying Gou to play a "holographic projection",
Ying Gou, who originally wanted to fight the Buddha head-on and have an open and honest conversation, didn't think about conserving his energy at the time,
and therefore,
the master and servant had just leaned against each other and stood up,
before they could stand firm,
they fell backward together,
rolling into a ball.

"Boss, Ying'er doesn't have any strength."

Ying'er gasped for breath,
she was over-exhausted today,
and what was most infuriating,
was that the bad guy had pierced her palm!

God knows if those skin care products or scar removal creams have any effect on a zombie's skin,
would she always have a scar on her hand?

"Then let's lie down, I don't have any strength either, right, the phone."

Zhou Ze reached out and touched his pocket,
the phone was still there,
but the screen was a bit cracked, but it could still be used.

However,
after taking out the phone and the screen lit up, Zhou Ze suddenly found that,
there was still no signal!

The phone wasn't broken,
the operation was normal,
this was still the iPhone XS Max that Ying'er had specially bought for him a while ago.

"Why is there still no signal?"
Zhou Ze was a little puzzled,
"Has the barrier not been broken yet?"

"It's been broken, but the scene just now was too big, it probably messed up all the magnetic fields nearby."
The black girl answered directly,
she had accepted her fate,
and knew to actively answer questions.

"Forget it, let's rest here for a while."

Zhou Ze didn't plan to do anything,
at most he would take the ground as his bed and the sky as his quilt,
he would directly hug Ying'er and sleep.

Then,
a scene that made the black girl feel incredible appeared,
late at night,
on the main road,
the master and servant, a man and a woman,
actually leaned against each other and lay on the road,
and started,
sleeping!

………………

"Have you bought the train tickets?"
Officer Chen picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip.

"I've bought them. There are no high-speed or bullet trains from Xuzhou to Tong City. I took a K train, which will take a little longer." Zhang Yanfeng replied.

In fact, Tong City only opened bullet trains in the past two years, and there are very few routes. There are currently no high-speed trains. For a long time before that, when high-speed railway stations and bullet train stations were being built in full swing all over the country, the green trains were still running from Tong City north to Huai'an.

After tonight's gathering, they will be separated next. The case has ended, and the joint task force will naturally be disbanded, and everyone will return to their homes.

Zhang Yanfeng actually didn't buy a train ticket. The boss called in the evening and said that things were going smoothly and asked if he would like to come and eat dog meat. He refused.

In the morning, he will go to the boss and the others, and then accompany them to find the little loli.

In any case, he is a member of the bookstore, one of the ghost servants, and he must do his part.

"You're going back to Nanjing, right?" Zhang Yanfeng asked.

"Yeah."
Officer Chen nodded.

Then,
there was silence.

Officer Chen didn't want to say anything,
Zhang Yanfeng didn't know what to say,
awkward was awkward,
what was more awkward than awkward was actually trying to break this awkwardness in a more awkward way.

Fortunately,
Zhang Yanfeng's phone rang.

He answered the phone,
"Hello."

"Squeak squeak... Squeak... Squeak squeak squeak... Squeak..."

Monkey?

"What are you saying? Speak slower."

Zhang Yanfeng smiled at Officer Chen, who was sitting in front of him, while answering the phone.

"Squeak squeak... Squeak... Squeak squeak squeak... Squeak..."

"Oh, I see, say it again, the signal here seems to be a bit bad, I'm in a coffee shop."

"Squeak squeak... Squeak... Squeak squeak squeak... Squeak..."

Zhang Yanfeng bit his lip,
he really couldn't understand.

"Um, is there anyone next to you who can answer..."

Zhang Yanfeng felt that he had asked a nonsense question. If the boss or the old Taoist priests were by the little monkey's side, how could they let a monkey call him?

"Can you send a text message?"

Should the monkey be able to type?

He remembered that this monkey could even order a car online,
and even do live broadcasts,
should,
it be literate?

"Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak!"

Zhang Yanfeng's head was a little big,
this was really like talking to a brick wall.

And at this time,
Zhang Yanfeng realized that the caller ID was a bit special,
this,
this was a call from a public telephone booth!

How could he send a text message?

"Is someone playing a prank?"
Officer Chen said.

"Um, what?"

"A prank."

Officer Chen put down her coffee cup.

"A prank, hehe, no, this is a monkey of a friend of mine... a good grandson."

"Hehe, in that case, that kid is quite smart."

"Um?"

"Your phone leaked, I just heard some."

"Heard some?"

"Um."

"You understood?"

"Understood a little."

Zhang Yanfeng was stunned,
so awesome,
so to be a most excellent criminal police officer you have to learn animal language?

"What he said was Morse code."

"..........." Zhang Yanfeng.

Zhang Yanfeng suddenly felt that his IQ was crushed,
first crushed by the female police officer in front of him,
and then crushed again by a monkey who could even use Morse code.

"Turn on the speakerphone, I'll help you translate, it's quite interesting, just treat it as a bedtime game."

Officer Chen said, taking out a pen and a small notebook from her pocket, she was ready.

"Um, okay."

Zhang Yanfeng hesitated for a moment, but still agreed,
since it had reached the point where the monkey was sending him Morse code,
something was likely to have happened to the boss.

"You continue to call... continue to send the code, I'm listening."

Zhang Yanfeng said after turning on the speakerphone.

"Squeak squeak..."

About a quarter of an hour later,
Officer Chen tore off a piece of paper,
and handed it to Zhang Yanfeng.

"It's an address, and some strange descriptions, describing the location of this address."

Zhang Yanfeng looked at the paper,
"Phone booth,
the moon is in the west,
the river is in the east,
the dog is behind,
Construction Road."

This was indeed the way to determine the location from a monkey's perspective,
it was a bit difficult to ask the monkey to specifically find you which road and which road's intersection, he guessed that Construction Road was just seen by chance at some nearby sign.

"I'll drive over now." Zhang Yanfeng packed his things and got up.

"Do you need me to go with you?" Officer Chen asked.

"No, you rest, you've been busy for so long, you're tired too, rest early."

Zhang Yanfeng hurried out,
the car temporarily borrowed from the local sub-bureau in Xuzhou was parked in front of the cafe,
Zhang Yanfeng got into the car and drove directly in the direction of Construction Road,
with those few directional nouns, it shouldn't be too difficult to find.

It was just what did "behind the dog" mean?

"Pet shop? No, it's... it's a dog meat restaurant!"

Zhang Yanfeng remembered,
the boss had told him on the phone before that they were going to eat dog meat.

The dog meat restaurant on Construction Road, right,
this was easy to find.

After Zhang Yanfeng left,
Officer Chen didn't move, she continued to sit in the same position as before, but asked the waiter to refill her coffee and told her to make it hotter.

Then she picked up the scalding coffee,
and took a very comfortable sip, drinking it quickly.

On the small notebook in front of her,
there was actually a sentence recorded, on the second page,
she didn't tear this one off and give it to Zhang Yanfeng.

And the content translated on this one, if some associations and artistic embellishments were added to make it smooth,
the meaning was roughly:

"Come quickly,
I'm panicking, monkey."
