Chapter 123 Identity
The little loli tilted her head slightly. She felt that Zhou Ze was deliberately saying something ambiguous. She didn't answer. Whether you answer "yes" or "no," it's not good.
Moreover, the little loli believed that Zhou Ze could see that too.
Yes, Zhou Ze saw it. All along, Zhou Ze thought Wang Ke had some special fetish. Now that he thought about it, it wasn't Wang Ke's problem, but his wife's.
Wang Ke was a psychologist. He was responsible for treating his wife's problems, and even had to deliberately cooperate with his wife's quirks when living at home.
He was acting, and the purpose of his performance was to make his wife happy.
A successful man had to pretend to be happy every day at home, constantly eating meat and drinking meat soup, and had to show that he enjoyed it.
His wife bought meat back every day, watching her husband eat.
For others, it might be a torment.
"Tie her up, you watch him, and make sure nothing happens to her," Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.
Bai Yingying nodded, went directly over, and dragged Wang Ke's wife into the study.
Without needing to be told, the old Taoist picked up the unconscious Wang Ke, placed him on the sofa, and helped him check his injuries.
Zhou Ze didn't directly call 120 to send Wang Ke to the hospital and Wang Ke's wife to a mental hospital. Wang Ke should have his own right to choose what to do with his wife. Zhou Ze didn't need to mess up his life or make decisions for him. Besides, Zhou Ze was too lazy to take on such troublesome matters.
Although Wang Ke was unconscious and injured, the problem wasn't too big. He should wake up soon. At that time, he could make his own decisions.
Moreover, at this juncture, Zhou Ze still had something that needed to be resolved.
He picked up the little loli.
The little loli struggled.
In the past, the little loli had also asked Zhou Ze to pick her up, but that was because she wanted to be on "equal footing" with Zhou Ze. At that time, she had restraint, control, and absolute oppression.
But now, the tables had turned. This time, when Zhou Ze picked her up, Zhou Ze was purely treating her like a little girl next door.
I'll rub you,
I'll pinch you,
See if you're still naughty.
Zhou Ze carried the little loli upstairs.
The old Taoist stood at the staircase, watching Zhou Ze carry the little loli up.
His face showed struggle and entanglement. He was considering whether to stop the boss from doing something beastly.
Too beastly,
She was still just a child.
If Zhou Ze knew what the old Taoist was thinking now, he would probably open a few skylights in him without mercy.
Putting the little loli on the bed, Zhou Ze took a step back. He saw that the little loli had already fallen asleep when he picked her up upstairs. Now, lying on the bed, she was making slight, adorable "snoring" sounds, like a delicate piece of porcelain.
After a while, she rubbed her eyes and looked at Zhou Ze in surprise, saying in a soft, glutinous voice:
"Uncle, why are you at my house, and in my room?"
So cute, so adorable.
But Zhou Ze was like an unromantic brute, directly picking up the little loli again, letting her swing back and forth in his hands, and at the same time said:
"I don't care if you're pretending or not, I don't care. If you're pretending, then stop pretending. If you're not pretending, then wake up and take back the main consciousness.
I have some things and some scores to settle with you.
Don't overestimate my patience. I'm not the kind of strange uncle who likes to ask little girls to come home to see goldfish."
Zhou Ze shook her back and forth. At first, the little loli was crying and even started calling "daddy and mommy," but after a while, she calmed down, her eyes were calm, she bit her delicate red lips, and said in a deep voice:
"Put me down."
"Oh, you're still naughty!"
"Slap!"
A slap landed on an unspeakable place. The little loli widened her eyes and turned to look at Zhou Ze, wishing she could devour him alive!
You actually dared to hit this sovereign's unspeakable place!
You still dare to say you're not a strange uncle?
"Oh, sorry."
Zhou Ze let go, and the little loli fell onto the bed.
But the little loli was still glaring at him. Zhou Ze was a little embarrassed and said:
"Just neglected, didn't notice you were back."
"Zhou Ze, do you think you can do whatever you want now?"
The little loli scolded.
"Slap!"
The unspeakable place suffered another heavy blow.
The little loli looked incredulous!
You just said it was neglect, not intentional!
Zhou Ze stroked the palm that had just slapped the unspeakable place and said:
"This time it wasn't intentional."
Saying that, Zhou Ze also sat down by the bedside,
And said:
"Don't imitate the protagonists in movies, who still like to be stubborn when death is imminent, because I'm not the villain in the movie, and I don't want to waste so much time talking to you."
"You dare to kill me?" The little loli asked back.
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
"Slap!"
Three slaps on the unspeakable place,
The little loli's body trembled three times,
Her pearly teeth were about to bite blood from her red lips.
"A while ago, someone said the same thing to me, but in the end, she died, so don't use this to threaten me, because it's useless.
Even if you're hiding in this body, I have a way to force you out."
"She was killed by you?" The little loli knew who Zhou Ze had killed, no, to be precise, who that ghost was.
A ghost officer, Zhou Ze had already killed one, so he didn't care about killing another one.
"What do you want to ask? Speak."
The little loli turned over and sat on the bed, hiding her unspeakable place.
Zhou Ze took out his ID and held it in his hand, asking: "How exactly do ghost officers get their jobs? Am I considered to have started my job now?"
"You have a certificate, and you have my key to the Gates of Hell. You are a ghost officer."
"Is the management this lax?" Zhou Ze was a little surprised.
"Ghost officers are just the lowest level of the Yin Division. The Yang world is so big. If even the lowest-level ghost officers need the upper levels of the Yin Division to select and appoint them one by one, then the upper levels of the Yin Division won't need to do anything else.
Even ghost sergeants above ghost officers don't need certification. They just need to obtain the corresponding qualifications, but after that, inspectors must be personally certified by the Yin Division."
"Oh, so that's how it is. The working environment is actually so relaxed. Doesn't that mean whoever kills you can obtain the identity of a ghost officer?"
"The Yin Division has order, the Yellow Springs can..."
"Slap!"
Zhou Ze flipped the little loli over, and another blow landed on the unspeakable place!
"Why!" The little loli endured a terrible sense of humiliation.
"Speak properly, don't always shout slogans," Zhou Ze reminded.
"The Yin Division has the rules of the Yin Division. Killing ghost officers is a big taboo!" The little loli replied.
"It feels like nonsense. I killed one, and that one in Rongcheng definitely killed one too. It's fine if he's okay, but why am I okay too?"
Saying that, Zhou Ze raised his hand, preparing to strike again.
Hmm,
The touch isn't bad.
"That's because you haven't violated any rules, and besides, the ghost officer you killed already had problems. Rather than saying she was a ghost officer, it's better to say she was a fierce wandering soul!"
"Okay, let me summarize this to see if I'm right. The idea is that ghost officers are just the lowest-level shrimp. If they die or get injured on the job, no one is responsible. Even if their identity is stolen, as long as the successor doesn't act recklessly and even inherits the original job and continues to be a ghost officer, the Yin Division won't care?"
The little loli nodded.
"Seriously, being a civil servant is really boring."
Zhou Ze curled his lips. Wasn't this undermining his work enthusiasm? He was still a temporary worker now, but now that he knew that even if he got a regular position, there was no guarantee, he felt that the future of this job was so bleak.
In the Yang world, everyone breaks their heads trying to become a civil servant just for an iron rice bowl.
But in the Yin world, it's not an iron rice bowl, and even this rice bowl has to be rotated.
"Ghost officers are the best way for ghosts to enter the Yin Division and seek status. Moreover, the identity of a ghost officer's certificate is not so easy to obtain. Basically, it is impossible to inherit."
The little loli gave the certificate in Zhou Ze's hand another heavy glance, pursed her lips, and continued:
"Throughout history, many mountain and river gods who cannot take the path of being granted a position by a legitimate dynasty and want to seek advancement voluntarily become ghost officers and take the path of the Yin Division and Hell. This is the same principle."
"Alright, one more thing." Zhou Ze spread out his palm, "Can you take this mark back?"
The little loli didn't say anything.
"Answer me."
Zhou Ze's face slowly darkened.
The little loli nodded.
Zhou Ze took a deep breath, slowly clenched his fist, and continued to ask in a soft voice:
"How do you take it back?"
"I have my own way of taking back what I gave you."
"You're avoiding this question a bit." Zhou Ze reached out and rubbed the little loli's head, and said, "Come on, be good, tell uncle more specifically, this mark, this key to the Gates of Hell you mentioned, what method do you need to use to take it back?"
The little loli looked at Zhou Ze. She was hesitating.
"Speak."
Zhou Ze raised his voice, and at the same time, his nails grew long, and the tips of his nails slid lightly across the little loli's face.
The little loli said in a low voice:
"Kill you, and you'll get it back."
An expected answer,
But it made Zhou Ze's eyes completely deep,
He wasn't angry,
He wasn't furious,
At least, he didn't show it, just said lightly:
"So, the pie you drew for me, the promises you made to me, and the future expectations you gave me were all fake.
You just needed to go to Rongcheng to handle some matters, so you let me help you with contract work to earn performance points.
When you came back,
You were planning to kill me, and even, I was the performance points you had planned out,
Right?"
The little loli closed her eyes.
Time went back to that day, when Zhou Ze calmly watched Tang Shi and the old Taoist vent their anger about the matters in Rongcheng, and even made many moves that ordinary people would only make when they were excited.
At that time, he could still calmly drink coffee!
If he had known that if that one in Rongcheng lost, not only would his interests be damaged when the little loli came back, but he would also be completely done for, would he have been able to sip his coffee so calmly!
Maybe he would have been even more crazy, buying tens of thousands of yuan worth of fireworks to set off.
Sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, Zhou Ze still looked at the little loli calmly, without being hysterical or losing his temper, just asking:
"Why don't you go back to Hell? Is it because you're too seriously injured to even go back to Hell? Or even, you don't dare to go to Hell and pass the Road to the Underworld now?"
The little loli didn't answer. Silence was also a kind of default.
Zhou Ze picked up his certificate and glanced at it, as if talking to himself, and said, "How many performance points can you earn by sending a ghost officer back to Hell?"
"I'm a ghost officer. Sending me to Hell doesn't earn any performance points," the little loli replied.
"Oh, sorry, I wasn't clear;
What I meant was,
Destroying a ghost officer's certificate, then torturing her into a fierce ghost with no clear mind, and then sending her back to Hell,
Would that earn any performance points?"
