Midnight Bookstore Chapter 229

The old woman’s sarcasm made everyone present silenced subconsciously, bai Yingying was silent, xu Qinglang was silent, the old priest was silent, the Deadpool had been silent all this time, and now he continued to remain silent. As a subordinate employee, when your boss was exposed in front of others, what else could you do but remain silent? “Pa!” Zhou ze lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. What the old woman said was actually very similar to what Zhou Ze himself had guessed, but if the old woman really pricked Zhou Ze’s self-esteem or something like that, it really wasn’t so. Boss Zhou wasn’t that awkward. However, seeing this old woman speak more clearly than before, taking advantage of her seniority and acting aggressively, it was indeed very uncomfortable. This was the late-night study room, after all, this was his own shop, in layman’s terms, this was Zhou Ze’s execution ground, or “Cave.”. A strong dragon wouldn’t be able to suppress a local snake! “Have you said enough?”Zhou ze said. “What? Are you angry?”The old woman’s attitude was as expected. “Yes.”Zhou ze admitted. “The Resurrection Lily, leave it to me. Then, accompany me to clarify this matter. As for the specifics, it will depend on your performance.” The old woman sat down again, she even took the initiative to take a cigarette from Zhou Ze and lit one for herself. That posture.., that expression.., it was quite similar to an old Shanghai ballroom backstage female singer smoking. “Hehe.” Zhou ze pointed at the food on the table and said: “Give me the money first.” “What?” The old woman frowned as if she did not understand what he meant. “In my place, I will arrange a cold meal for the ghosts that go down. When they leave, they will also leave a little more money. “This is wine and meat. It can be considered the highest quality. Leave more money.” The old woman narrowed her eyes, her dry palm slammed on the table and berated: “Do you know who you’re talking to?” “It’s only right to pay for meals.” Zhou Ze slowly raised his head, as if it was a matter of course. “Hehe, what if I say that I won’t pay?”The old woman said sternly. Previously, she didn’t reveal her identity, so it didn’t matter, now that she revealed her identity, Zhou Ze was even more disrespectful to her than before. She couldn’t stand it! It was just like those emperors who visited in disguise. It didn’t matter if you joked with him when he was in disguise. Once he put on the Dragon Robe and you didn’t take it lightly with him, you would end up walking around the vegetable market. “You won’t give it to me?” Zhou Ze looked at the old Daoist sitting in front and said, “Beat her up.” The old Daoist shivered, holy Sh * t, beat her up? Boss, i’m a person who will die. What should I do after I die? The Old Taoist was still hesitating. who wouldn’t hesitate if it were me? Unless you are certain that you will live forever. Even if you live forever, you can not guarantee that there will be any accidents. But looking at Zhou Ze’s expression, the old Taoist knew that if he did not follow the order today, he might not even be able to wait until the day he died of old age. The boss would send him a express delivery in advance. “Pa!” The old Taoist raised his hand, he patted the old woman’s arm, lightly. This strength, this weight.., rather than saying that he was hitting someone, it was more like the flirting between an old married couple. As time goes by, one can see the heart of a man. Zhou ze gently touched his head and then gently waved his hand. Close the door, release Yingying. Anyway, Yingying was an orthodox zombie, even if she died, she would not enter samsara. It would be the end of life and death, and she would not go to Hell. Therefore, she was not afraid of settling scores later. Moreover, this girl had a natural following and obedience towards Zhou Ze. As expected, yingying did not disappoint Zhou Ze, she directly walked forward. “You dare to call my boss a dog?”Bai Yingying placed her hands on her waist and looked at the old woman. “Haha, he’s a Dog, little girl. Your bloodline is actually much purer than his. He’s just making a coat out of tiger skin. He’s not him at all.” Zhou Ze took a deep breath, he was a little hesitant, he was also a little confused, it was not because of what the old woman had said, it was because of Bai Yingying. Yes, Bai Yingying was very obedient to him, but that was based on the fact that she had sensed the aura of a high-level zombie from him. It was the bloodline in his body that had suppressed her bloodline and made her have no choice but to submit to him, from a cold and fierce female zombie, she had become his own monster. Now.., she knew that he was just a facade, would she continue to listen to him? Moreover, if the consciousness in his body issued a call.., would Bai Yingying directly follow the command of that consciousness and attack him? Boss Zhou was a little weak right now.., suddenly, he realized that he really had no capital at all. In the past, he thought that he was a smurf who wore a full-grade godly equipment and could act pretentious everywhere, now, he realized that his equipment was lent to him after being bound by someone else. He might even be a prearranged experience bar. Panic, he couldn’t not panic, the Panic of a salted fish. “Pa!” Bai Yingying slapped the old woman’s face, sending her flying and slamming her into the wall. She really didn’t hold back! The old woman had also been hit, but only the corner of her mouth was bleeding. “You! ! ! ! !” The old woman pointed at Bai Yingying, “How dare you! Little Zombie, little filth, not reincarnated, God…” “Bang Bang! ! ! ! ! !” Bai Yingying reached out and grabbed the old woman’s neck, she lifted her up. “You…”the old woman wanted to say something, but she couldn’t. “How DARE YOU SCOLD MY BOSS!” Bai Yingying instantly turned into a violent high school beauty, she grabbed the old woman’s neck, “Bang! Bang! Bang!” She kept smashing the wall! One time, two times, three times, four times.. He kept smashing the wall, he kept smashing the wall! The shop next door probably thought that the study room was being renovated. The old priest sucked in a breath of cold air as he watched, xu Qinglang watched in silence, the little monkey watched until the peanuts on his paws fell to the ground, even the Deadpool, who had been sitting motionlessly against the wall, kept shaking because of the shaking of the wall. Zhou Ze continued to smoke by the side, he smoked very hard. Finally, after countless collisions, bai Yingying threw the old woman down. The old woman was badly bruised, her hair was messy, and many of her teeth had fallen out. But she was still alive! “You… you… you… you dare to… Dare to do this to me… Don’t die… Don’t die…” The old priest sat on the side and kept waving his hand, he was indicating that it had nothing to do with him. Because in the bookstore.., bai Yingying and the boss would not die. Xu Qinglang was still young. Damn it, he was the fastest to die. Zhou Ze threw away the cigarette butt and stood up shakily. He walked to the old lady and slowly squatted down. Bai Yingying stood on the side. She did not feel the pleasure and heroism of violently smashing a sandbag. Instead, when Zhou Ze approached her, she actually had tears in her eyes, as if she was crying. Zhou ze raised his head in surprise and looked at Bai Yingying beside him. He asked, “Why are you crying?” “I can’t take it when she says bad things about you, Boss.” “She’s not lying. There’s nothing to be angry about.” Zhou ze comforted her. What she said.., was the truth after all. “No, what she said is not right. The boss is the boss, not some watchdog. The boss is the boss. “In Yingying’s eyes, you are my boss, not that thing in your body. “That thing is so scary. Yingying doesn’t like it.” “Hehe.” Zhou ze laughed very happily. Then, Zhou Ze stretched out his hand. Fingernails grew out of his fingers. He grabbed at the old woman’s skull and lifted it up fiercely. “You are an unkillable cockroach…” Then I’ll extract your soul! The old woman’s soul was really extracted by Zhou Ze, but her image changed in an instant. She still looked like an old woman, but she was wearing a long black hat, and the brim of the hat kept extending down and fell to the ground. There were many hand gestures on her face, and one look was enough to tell that she was not an ordinary ghost. “That array wasn’t set up by you. The Resurrection Lily wasn’t planted by you either.” Zhou ze analyzed: “Other than being able to take a beating, you don’t have any other abilities. So, you’re the one who came out of Hell to investigate this matter?” “You know that I came from hell, yet you still dare to treat me like this!”The old woman said savagely. “You’re a big fish. It’s been a long time since my GPA rose. Also.., i heard that the people who work in Hell have quite a lot of benefits. It’s like plucking feathers from a wild goose. You’ve eaten such a delicious meal at my place. If I send you down, not only will your performance be good, but the netherworld banknote should also be very rich, right?” “You Dare!” The old woman was a little flustered, it was not easy for someone of her status to come up once, and the price was very high. If she went down without completing the mission, then her end would also be very ugly! Zhou ze nodded. It seemed that he had guessed correctly. Then.., zhou Ze took out his phone, opened wechat, and called the Little Loli for a wechat video invitation. She quickly picked up, lin Ke was lying on the bed in a loli dress. “Do you know her?” Zhou ze pointed his phone at the old woman. “She… She’s the night watchman of the bridge of helplessness. Why is she here? Is she here to investigate the Resurrection Lily? Ah, why is her soul out, who Did It! It’s You?” Zhou ze nodded. “Zhou Ze, you’re in trouble. If you let her go down and tell everyone about your crimes, the bridge of helplessness will report you to the Netherworld Department. Not to mention that you’re just a ghost now, even if you’re a patrol inspector, you won’t be able to take it!” “I understand what you mean.”Zhou ze suddenly understood. “What you mean is, we can’t send her soul to Hell. Instead, we should directly destroy her here.” “…”Lin Ke. Lin Ke: * * & ; *@@ #% As soon as he finished speaking, zhou Ze’s nails began to crazily knead and Pierce through the old woman’s soul, it was as if he had gone mad! I told you to call me a watchdog, i told you to call me worthless! I told you to show off in front of me! I’ll let you know today, that even if a dog, gets anxious, it will bite! Amidst the old woman’s miserable screams, her soul was finally torn apart by Zhou Ze, all around, waves of smoke rose, it’s over, it’s all over. The corners of Zhou Ze’s mouth hung with the remnants of a smile, he closed his eyes, and directly sat on the ground. For some reason, at this moment, he suddenly found the feeling of sitting alone in the backyard of an orphanage when he was a child.
