Chapter 142 Over the Line

The man in the driver's seat did indeed look exactly like Zhou Ze, but Doctor Lin knew that the real Zhou Ze was getting drinks from the trunk.

Besides, what Zhou Ze had said to her before made it clear that danger could happen at any time, and now, it actually had.

The man held a notebook in his hand, the one Zhou Ze had been holding earlier. He was playing with it, seemingly very interested, but he didn't open it, just kept turning it over and over.

However, he looked at Doctor Lin much more often than he looked at the notebook. Clearly, in his eyes, Doctor Lin was more important.

"Heh."

The man chuckled softly and leaned back slightly.

Then, a wisp of green smoke drifted out of his mouth, carrying a strong hallucinogenic effect. Doctor Lin wanted to call out to Zhou Ze behind her to warn him, but in an instant, she lost consciousness.

Everything happened so quickly that she didn't have time to think or react. She was just an ordinary person, not some special forces soldier or queen.

The man leisurely straightened his clothes, pushed open the car door, and stepped out.

The moment he got out, he transformed completely into Doctor Lin, his clothes and demeanor identical, leaving no room for error.

Even the blush on his cheeks that hadn't completely faded was still there.

This was enough to show that he was an absolute perfectionist, someone who nitpicked every detail.

Unlike the Faceless Woman, his transformation was more like a work of art, refined and precise, while the Faceless Woman's was a simple and crude copy.

He walked to the back and saw Zhou Ze, who had just closed the trunk and was holding the drinks.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ze asked.

"I'm a little scared," he said, his voice exactly like Doctor Lin's, very gentle.

"I'm here, don't be afraid."

With that,

Zhou Ze put down the drinks and hugged him directly.

"............" He.

Simple,

Crude,

Even he was caught off guard.

Sensing the warmth from another man's body, a flash of anger and disgust appeared in his eyes, but he didn't resist. Instead, in an instant,

he opened his mouth.

"Pfft!"

Before the green smoke could be exhaled,

a hand covered his lips, pressing down hard.

Zhou Ze turned his face and looked at him, a faint smile playing on his lips.

He was a little confused, but more importantly, the green smoke in his mouth couldn't be coughed out or swallowed, making him very uncomfortable.

"Bang!"

A knee struck his abdomen heavily, and he opened his mouth with a groan, curling up on the ground.

He was puzzled and looked up at Zhou Ze.

"There's a woman on the road to the Yellow Springs who always likes to cosplay others. Sorry, I've been trained by her. So, consider yourself unlucky. Now, anyone who tries to imitate someone close to me, I have a special premonition."

Having experienced the "special training" of the Faceless Woman, Zhou Ze's sensitivity in that area had been completely stimulated, like an instinct.

Zhou Ze reached out and grabbed his neck. His body was weak, still in Doctor Lin's form. Dragging him, Zhou Ze walked to the car door. Zhou Ze checked Doctor Lin's condition and found that she was just asleep and not seriously hurt.

He, being dragged by Zhou Ze like a dead dog, was twitching slightly.

Zhou Ze let go, and he fell to the ground, smoke rising from his body, like a lot of otaku girlfriends deflating. The whole person began to shrivel.

In the distance,

a man and a woman walked over. The man was very tall, about six foot three, wearing military camouflage, revealing his muscular arms. He looked very strong.

The woman was not tall, with freckles on her face, chewing gum in her mouth, blowing bubbles.

A wisp of green smoke slowly condensed behind the woman, forming a woman's figure. The woman was wearing a green dress, standing behind the two, somewhat timid, seemingly afraid that her discovery had led to the mission's failure.

But she still lowered her head and whispered something next to the tall man and woman.

The tall man moved his neck, making a series of crisp cracking sounds, then clenched his fist. He didn't say anything, but it was a show of force.

The freckled woman reached out and took the gum out of her mouth, stuck it casually on the muscular arm of the man next to her, took a few steps forward, looked at Zhou Ze, and asked with a smile:

"Brother, you've crossed the line."

Were they the local ghost enforcers?

Zhou Ze wasn't very clear on how ghost enforcers in one place should interact with those in another, nor was he clear on the tacit understanding between ghost enforcers. Of the two ghost enforcers he knew,

one was killed by her,

and one was caught by her.

It seemed that Zhou Ze was always so simple and crude when dealing with his own kind.

Little Lori originally wanted to remind Zhou Ze that when he arrived in Yancheng, it would be best to greet the local ghost enforcers, just as the Bald Monk had visited Zhou Ze first when he came to Tongcheng.

Sometimes a greeting, a heads-up, could save a lot of trouble.

It was just that Zhou Ze hung up the phone directly at the time, so Little Lori's reminder wasn't delivered. Perhaps, even if Little Lori had said it, Zhou Ze wouldn't have left Doctor Lin behind to run off to "meet" his colleagues in Yancheng.

Moreover, in Zhou Ze's view, the other party had acted first. Their previous stance clearly showed that they wanted the female ghost to knock him and Doctor Lin out together.

"So what?"

Faced with the other party's question, Zhou Ze asked back.

He was here to save people, to save Doctor Lin. At the same time, he saved a family. He wasn't here to steal or rob.

"Brother, your tone of voice makes me wonder if the Inspector himself has arrived."

The freckled woman smiled slightly, then reached out and parted her hair, saying at the same time:

"Leave the woman in the car, and you can go. We can let this matter of you crossing the line without greeting us go."

Zhou Ze looked at her,

without saying a word.

At first, the freckled girl thought Zhou Ze was considering it,

but gradually,

the freckled girl realized that Zhou Ze's gaze was like looking at an idiot.

It couldn't be blamed on Zhou Ze. He really didn't know how to get along with his peers. He didn't have any concept of such tacit understandings or so-called forbidden territories.

Perhaps, Zhou Ze's biggest concept of the ghost enforcer group came from the one who returned injured from Rongcheng,

who killed dozens of ghost enforcers in one night. The ghost enforcer certificates were scattered all over the ground, like cabbage on the side of the road, grabbing a handful at a time.

So, it was very possible that Zhou Ze's thinking had been warped at that time.

He always felt that his peers were just small fry, like monsters in online games that were there to give experience.

"This woman, we must keep her. She has something we want."

With that,

the freckled girl took a step forward,

and with a stride,

a gust of yin wind swept over, carrying a heavy, oily feeling.

Zhou Ze felt his body suddenly become much heavier, and the surrounding air became incredibly thin all at once.

The tall man also walked over at this time, approaching Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze stretched out his fingernails,

but the other party was faster, directly grabbing Zhou Ze's wrist, and then flipping it over.

"Bang!"

Zhou Ze was thrown against the car door, and the car door dented as a result.

Little Lori had once given Zhou Ze great terror,

but now Little Lori had been domesticated by him.

And now, that feeling of being dominated by a seasoned ghost enforcer seemed to strike again.

The tall man smiled at Zhou Ze and reached out to pinch Zhou Ze's neck.

"You should have just stayed in your Tongcheng. Why did you run around, and with her? You're running around in front of a bandit's den with a car full of wealth, deliberately looking for a thrill, aren't you?"

"She...what's wrong with her?"

Zhou Ze was puzzled.

If the other party was aiming for his notebook, that was understandable. After all, it was the Yin-Yang Book used by the Judge, and even if its quality had dropped, it was still the Yin-Yang Book.

But the other party seemed to have a case of missing the wood for the trees, valuing Doctor Lin instead.

What was wrong with Doctor Lin?

"A person who has been blessed by a ghost enforcer at the cost of sacrificing his own merits, what do you think she means?"

The freckled girl looked at Zhou Ze,

"A newbie is just a newbie, not even able to see this, or maybe you can see it, but you've been pretending not to see it, wanting to play some cliché romance between a ghost and a human?

You're a ghost, a dead person, not someone from the yang world. Having too many ties with ordinary living people will only hurt her. This is a little advice I'm giving you, kid."

The freckled girl took the chewing gum from the tall man's arm, put it back in her mouth and chewed it, then opened the car door and looked at Doctor Lin, who was sitting inside unconscious.

"I'm very curious. That ghost enforcer who was willing to give up so much just to bless her, his level should be a little higher than ours. He was actually so generous."

Zhou Ze knew that the ghost enforcer the freckled girl was talking about should be the one who had possessed his sister-in-law. It was natural for her to be good to Doctor Lin.

She had even gone to the point of being possessed. He owed his present self to her.

Zhou Ze seemed to remember that when he killed her, her ghost enforcer certificate was almost collapsing, and it didn't stay behind in the end. Did that mean that she had already overdrafted herself?

Overdrafted on what this freckled girl was talking about, the blessing?

"Don't touch her,"

Zhou Ze said.

The tall man reached out and pinched Zhou Ze's neck, seeing Zhou Ze still warning and threatening him at this time, he couldn't help but find it amusing.

"Of course we won't kill her. We just want the blessing on her. We're ghost enforcers, enforcers of the underworld. We definitely won't kill living people.

Don't worry, although you're a newbie, you're still our peer. We'll still give you that much face. At most, she'll just have a bad illness, and after a year or two of recovery, she'll be fine."

The tall man reached out and patted Zhou Ze's face, praising:

"You really chose a good appearance. It's much more handsome than this big guy like me. I'm really a little jealous of you."

The freckled girl spat the chewing gum she had chewed back into her palm, then put it on Doctor Lin's forehead.

"Hey, be careful, don't suck out her soul. If you really kill someone, you and I will have to take the blame together," the tall man reminded.

"Don't worry, such a beautiful woman, I can't bear to kill her either."

Saying this,

the freckled girl deliberately glanced at the kid next to her,

"After all, she's still the heroine of our peer's romance between a ghost and a human, don't you think..."

She suddenly froze,

because she saw that the newbie who was being held by her companion,

the baleful aura on his body,

was getting thicker and thicker…
