Chapter 1 Xu Le

Xu Qinglang had barely finished kicking the door when Zhou Ze came downstairs, opened the bookstore door, his forehead slightly sweaty, his expression tired, as if he hadn't rested well.

To be honest, he had just woken up, but not naturally as usual, but startled awake.

The last scene in his dream, those strands of black hair wrapped around him, even thinking about it now could make one's scalp tingle.

"Xu Le!"

His sister-in-law stood akimbo, with the air of demanding an explanation!

Zhou Ze nodded to Xu Qinglang, signaling him to come in. Then, in front of his sister-in-law, Zhou Ze locked the bookstore door again, isolating her outside.

His sister-in-law looked incredulous.

Xu Le dared to ignore her!

The little girl's princess temper flared up. She had come this time to demand an explanation for her sister, and she had also learned about the Maserati woman from Xu Qinglang. How could she just leave like this?

Fine, you lock the door!

His sister-in-law bent down, found a larger stone on the ground, and prepared to smash the glass door. But just as she was about to take a running start, Zhou Ze in the bookstore glanced at her.

At this moment, black halos were swirling in Zhou Ze's eyes.

His sister-in-law was so frightened that she shivered all over, staggered back several steps, and subconsciously squeezed her legs together.

The scene of being frightened in the bathroom that night reappeared in her mind.

That night,

she was so scared that she lost control of her bladder.

"Xu Le, you... you just wait!"

His sister-in-law left those harsh words behind, then left in a panic, while also complaining in her heart about why she had to meddle in other people's business. It would have been better to go home and tell her parents about this.

Just tell them that the good live-in son-in-law they chose had a woman on the outside!

…………

Inside the bookstore, after Xu Qinglang came in, he had been organizing his words, swallowing his saliva. He could be considered someone who had seen the world, but at this moment, he still had a deep sense of lingering fear.

Because at the time, he, including the female corpse, and Zhou Ze, hadn't seen the woman's true identity!

This was too terrifying,

and chilling to contemplate!

It was like watching those impressionists on variety shows imitating celebrities singing, and you might find it quite interesting;

but suddenly someone imitated your parents, your husband, or your wife and lived your life, and you didn't notice it at all,

how terrifying would that be!

"Last night, the one who came in the Maserati wasn't Doctor Lin, wasn't your wife!

Your wife didn't change cars at all. After you confessed to her, she took leave and didn't go to work."

Xu Qinglang finally said it.

Zhou Ze's pupils constricted slightly,

He didn't say anything, but sat down in the chair behind the counter.

In his dream, the man from Rongcheng wearing a hoodie had already given him a reminder, so even though he was indeed shocked to hear Xu Qinglang's words now, he could still bear it.

"How can you be so calm?" Xu Qinglang asked strangely, "Or, do you know who that woman is?"

Zhou Ze shook his head, "At the time, I really didn't know at all. I thought it was Doctor Lin.

But thinking about it now, there are indeed many things that don't make sense.

She suddenly came to me, as if she had figured everything out,

I suddenly became very proactive, and very impulsive,

She was also very cooperative, every move, although it looked shy and coy, could just right arouse the most trembling place in a man's heart."

"What kind of ghost was that?" Xu Qinglang pursed his lips and asked again, "What kind of ghost?"

"A woman who likes to dance with her hands in the water pool by the Yellow Springs Road in Hell, this woman has no face."

Speaking of this,

Zhou Ze suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.

The Faceless Woman,

people who see her appearance always find her facelessness very terrifying and strange,

but they ignore,

that she has no face,

because she has the ability to transform into any face she needs!

This is the essence of facelessness,

From nothing, everything can be created!

"The Faceless Woman?" Xu Qinglang frowned, "I seem to have seen this in a Qing Dynasty strange tale novel. It is said that she is a ghost condensed from the unwillingness of the dead on the Yellow Springs Road, and has been waiting for the opportunity to return to the mortal realm."

"That's about the gist of it." Zhou Ze nodded and said, "Find that strange tale novel, and let me take a look."

"I'll look for it when I get back. It's all stuff I read when I was a kid, and I probably won't be able to find it.

By the way, did you and that female ghost have a relationship?

Like you just said, she came to you to seduce you, right?"

"No." Zhou Ze shook his head, picked up the new water glass on the counter, took a sip of tea,

and pretended to be profound and said, "At the last moment, I noticed something was wrong.

I called it off."

Zhou Ze couldn't admit that it was because Xu Qinglang, that damned bastard, had told him so much about the body, soul, DNA, and cuckoldry that afternoon, which caused him to have psychological obstacles at the time, so he wasn't successfully seduced.

In fact, Zhou Ze himself was puzzled. In his bookstore, the most numerous books were online novels and physical books, and there were many rebirth and transmigration novels.

The protagonists in those books have children and raise families very normally, and it all seems natural, and there's nothing strange about it;

Why, when it came to him putting the plots in the novels into practice, were there so many twists and turns?

Was he...

bored?

No, it was Xu Qinglang who was bored,

only this idiot would be bored enough to help him analyze and think about this philosophical question.

But it seemed that he couldn't blame Xu Qinglang, if Xu Qinglang hadn't said those things to him that afternoon, he would probably have consummated the relationship by now.

Moreover, the consequences would have been very serious.

People were fishing, and he bit the hook. The end result would be meat on the chopping board.

"She failed?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"Yeah." Zhou Ze nodded.

"Then why is she targeting you?"

"Maybe she's not like that Madam Bai, who values social status." Zhou Ze laughed.

"…………" Xu Qinglang.

"Maybe it's because of jealousy, because I can come back, and she can't, and now, I still have a physical body, and a new life." Zhou Ze guessed.

"She's back now too, and it's clear that her target is you." Xu Qinglang analyzed, "This means that her return is not so pure, there may be other restrictions."

"For example, because of some special purpose, someone deliberately allowed her to return?" Zhou Ze changed his perspective to think about the problem.

"I always feel like you know something, so, I'm worrying for nothing, you actually have it all figured out?"

"I know it from a dream."

"Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe that kind of nonsense?" Xu Qinglang asked back.

Zhou Ze reached out and gently touched his forehead.

The little loli hurriedly handed over the job of the ghost messenger to him, and the Faceless Woman was also released from hell,

most likely, it was to catch that man from Rongcheng, the one who reminded him in his dream.

But that Faceless Woman obviously intended to do some of her own small calculations while on official business,

for example,

plotting against him?

"In short, during this period, I will try not to leave the bookstore, and wait for the storm to pass."

"That's what you should do." Xu Qinglang nodded, and then leaned closer to Zhou Ze and said, "Hey, do you still have some reservations about the body and DNA or something?"

Zhou Ze shook his head, "Am I that bored?"

"Actually, this matter is easy to figure out. DNA is just a code, but offspring are actually the crystallization of their own soul. Forget it, I can't explain this clearly.

In short, those normal people who haven't transmigrated or borrowed a corpse and have children with their wives may not even be their own,

You don't need to care too much about this."

"I didn't realize you were really good at comforting people before." Zhou Ze stood up and said to Xu Qinglang, "Come with me to the bathroom."

Xu Qinglang followed Zhou Ze to the bathroom,

Zhou Ze directly took off his coat and the clothes inside.

"You need to exercise." Xu Qinglang shook his head, looking very dissatisfied.

At this moment, the female corpse came down from the stairs. The bathroom was on the side of the stairwell, and Bai Yingying directly saw the two men together in the bathroom!

"Oh dear, I suddenly realized I haven't slept enough."

Pretending to yawn, Bai Yingying pretended to go up to rest again, not disturbing the two people's private time downstairs.

"Bring down the medical kit from the second floor, and prepare gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine." Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.

"Okay, boss."

Bai Yingying hurried up to get things, thinking in her heart, were the boss and his friend going to be so intense?

Did they need to prepare to stop the bleeding in advance?

"What exactly are you going to do?" Xu Qinglang crossed his arms, looked at Zhou Ze, and in the depths of his eyes, revealed obvious disgust.

Zhou Ze smiled, "You're clearly not gay, why do you always act like that?"

"Life is interesting, don't you understand?" Xu Qinglang pointed to Zhou Ze's lower abdomen, "Although it's someone else's body, you should exercise more, look at this fat, tsk tsk, disgusting."

Zhou Ze's nails immediately became longer,

Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment,

Damn,

Was he really getting angry just for mocking his body?

However, Zhou Ze then used his index fingernail to gently swipe from his jaw all the way down, and a line of blood slowly emerged, and beads of blood also overflowed.

At the same time,

from Zhou Ze's neck to his lower abdomen, there appeared strips of black powder. These powders were like the ink lines used by carpenters, very fine, and couldn't be seen at all before.

As the fingernail swiped across, these ink lines also fell off,

Zhou Ze breathed a sigh of relief,

looking at himself in the mirror, and the long bloodstain on his chest.

"What is this stuff?"

Xu Qinglang held his breath, lowered his head and squatted down to observe these fallen black powders.

"It's hair." Zhou Ze replied.

Hair,

wrapped around his soul.

"Boss, I'm coming in." Bai Yingying walked into the bathroom carrying the medical kit. When she saw the black powder on the ground, a strange look immediately appeared on her face, and she said:

"Boss, is this something you guys use to spice things up?"

"Do you recognize this?" Xu Qinglang pointed to the black powder and said.

"This is ghost saliva, it is transformed from the resentment of old ghosts that are over a hundred years old. My mistress also had some back then."

"What does it do?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"It stimulates people's impulses, for example, if you want to do something at the time, and you also inhale this thing into your body, it can make you ten times or a hundred times more eager to do that thing."

Hearing this, Xu Qinglang's mouth twitched into a smile, and then he glanced at Zhou Ze,

and smiled:

"Old Zhou, does this Faceless Woman want you to be a breeding stud?"
