Midnight Bookstore Chapter 397

When the water tank started to shatter… the people in the study room… quickly began to retreat. Even Zhou Ze and Lawyer An, who had been standing at the front, subconsciously retreated. At this time, there was no need to act pretentious and stand still… mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing its color sounded cool, but after that cool feeling, it was about to be buried alive. Splash When the water tank was moved over, there was no water left. However, at this moment, there was a bloody red liquid dripping out. Normally, fresh blood would carry a strong stench. However, the fresh blood here emitted a strange fragrance, making people feel as if they were walking in a sea of flowers. The people present were not rookies, they were subconsciously holding their breath, but it was useless. On the bookshelves on the first floor of the study room, branches began to spread. The branches were fake because they looked transparent, and there were gullies around the tables and chairs. This feeling was like a 3D projection. The fake and the real began to blur. A jade pendant floated out from where the water tank had been broken. The baby face on the jade pendant… was now crooked, it was as if it had been severely beaten, it was almost out of shape, it was like a deformed child. If… when the old Daoist was peeing, he had put down a talisman and only slapped this guy. Just now, Lawyer An had thrown the talisman like it was free, which was equivalent to giving this “Baby” a set of combined military boxing. Fortunately, the old Daoist was not here. If he knew that his precious ancestral talisman paper was used as toilet paper by Lawyer An, he would probably chase after Lawyer An with a knife and cut him into eight streets. The swollen face of the doll… it was indeed a little difficult to maintain his previous gloomy and strange look, now, it looked… rather comical and ridiculous. “Buzz!” The jade pendant began to crack, piece by piece… pieces fell down. But the scene around him did not disappear, instead, it became even more real. In a trance… Zhou Ze saw a group of people kneeling around him. Some of them were dressed in black robes, while some were dressed in white robes. They were kneeling in an orderly fashion. And behind the jade pendant… an iron frame appeared a person was tied to the iron frame… there were nine knives stabbed into this person’s body! Fresh blood kept dripping out… dripping onto the jade pendant. The people below began to chant together… worshipping together. “This jade pendant is probably the totem of some ancient tribe. Every year, it would be sacrificed by living people as an evil object.” Lawyer An spoke. “Then how did it end up here?” “How would I know? Maybe that dead old man knows, but his soul probably didn’t even go to Hell. It might have been directly absorbed by this thing.” At this moment… the jade pendant was constantly splitting, it would probably completely dissipate before long. Lawyer An licked the tip of his tongue and subconsciously took a step forward. But his wrist was grabbed by Zhou Ze. “What do you want to Do?”Zhou Ze asked. “It’s such a pity that this thing collapsed just like that.” “Aren’t you afraid of breaking Yin de with this thing?” Hearing this, Lawyer An hesitated for a moment, but he still did not move. Actually… Lawyer An did not really care about whether he broke yin de or not. He was now a hooligan. He did not want to be promoted by Yin Masters, nor did he expect to be rich in the world. What worried him was that he was also a little worried that he would not be able to control this jade pendant, and in the end, he would be controlled by this jade pendant. Lawyer An glanced at Zhou Ze again, he noticed that Boss Zhou had been clenching his teeth, ha… it could be seen that… Boss Zhou also wanted this jade pendant, but he was also enduring it. Forget it… some Things… the best ending was ashes to Ashes. Crack.. The jade pendant completely shattered, it turned into ashes and scattered. The surrounding images also disappeared, the memory that was sealed in the jade pendant also disappeared. No one knew which tribe the sacrifice was from, nor did they know the exact origin of the jade pendant, but it was already over. It was enough. “Come, clean up this place.” After Zhou Ze gave the order, he went to carry Bai Yingying on his back, he only had one hand to move now, so it was very inconvenient to carry her on his back. However, he stubbornly refused the Little Loli who wanted to come up and help, he stood firm, his own stubbornness. .. The morning sun shone down. On the big bed, Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying lay on it. Lawyer An had checked and said that the curse had been lifted with the disappearance of the jade pendant. Now, she only needed to wait for her to wake up. The Little Loli hugged a mat and slept under the bed. She was very dissatisfied. Although they were still very close to each other and could sleep, it was not as comfortable as the soft bed. However, Zhou Ze insisted on using the excuse that he liked to move around when he slept. He refused to go to bed at this time for fear of disturbing Yingying. This made the Little Loli very uncomfortable! “Hey, she’s going to wake up.” Zhou Ze saw that Bai Yingying’s eyelids moved a few times, soon… Bai Yingying opened her eyes, her eyes were not red, but clear and bright. Zhou Ze felt that the Yingying at this time was still cute. The Yingying from last night was really too strange. “SOB, sob, boss, what’s wrong with me?” Yingying looked left and right in confusion. Zhou Ze reached out and gently scratched her nose. Yingying looked at Zhou Ze with her big bright eyes and was very puzzled. “It’s good that you’re awake. You can rest again. If you need anything, just call Lin Ke.” “Huh?” Bai Yingying suddenly saw the plaster and bandage wrapped around Zhou Ze’s right arm, her expression immediately changed, she, who was originally pure and gentle, now had an angry expression on her face, she growled: “Boss, what happened to your arm? ! Which b*stard hurt you? tell Yingying, Yingying, go and eat him right now! ! ! ! ! How dare you hurt Boss Like This? I’ll never let him off!” “PFFT…” The Little Loli could not help but laugh. “It’s alright. I’ve already taken care of that person.” Zhou Ze got off the bed and reached out to touch Bai Yingying’s head, “I’ll give you a day off. You can rest today. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I want to see the freshly brewed coffee and newspaper.” “There’s no need, boss. Yingying feels that she’s fine now. “If you want, Yingying can give it to you anytime.” “If I tell you to rest, then you should rest well.” After saying that, Zhou Ze walked out of the bedroom. He went downstairs, Zhou Ze found the sofa he was familiar with, he lay down. At this moment, Lawyer An came over with two cups of coffee and placed one cup in front of Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze looked at the coffee in front of him, he was stunned for a moment. “Drink it, don’t be polite,” Lawyer An said with a smile. This was not a matter of being polite or not, it was because what one was brewing was an expired instant coffee. On the other hand, Lawyer An was leisurely enjoying his expired coffee, feeling good about himself, then, he imitated Zhou Ze’s actions, he lay down as well, “Basking in the sun, lying there without moving at all. As expected, I’m convinced…” “…” Zhou Ze. “By the way, Yueya and the others left early in the morning. Yingying must have woken up. I just heard her voice.” “Okay.” Zhou Ze nodded, he did not feel embarrassed that he did not invite her for a meal, when he was a doctor in the past, his intern dog was ordered around by him like this. “You were a doctor in your past life, right? Lin Ke told me about it.” “Okay.” “By the way, director Lin once talked to me about some of the things she did when she was an intern. Do you know what was the most unforgettable thing about her?” “What was it?”Zhou Ze asked. It was really… a little curious… when she was an intern, he was the one who brought her up. “I remember that it was the first time we met for a collaboration. She and I had a meal in the hospital cafeteria. She told me that when she was an intern, she followed a young surgeon. That surgeon was quite handsome and very charming.” Hehehe. “She said that she met a patient with Ascaris intestinal obstruction at that time. She was asked by her teacher to join the laboratory as an assistant. Her teacher opened up the patient’s abdominal cavity and took out a large basin of Ascaris.” “That scene was indeed very scary.” Zhou Ze smiled. He had forgotten about this matter. In fact, other than a little memory, he did not really remember many things about the time when he took care of the intern, doctor Lin. He was single based on his ability, why did he have to have a good memory? It was best to forget about Qixi, Memorial Day, Valentine’s Day, the white, red, and Black Valentine’s Day. “No, no, no, the scariest thing is not this.”Lawyer An smiled as he drank his coffee. “Director Lin said that she was already scared silly at that time. Then… that damn teacher of hers… even ordered her… to clean this basin of worms… and then… points! Hahahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. I’m really dying of laughter. Do you think that teacher of hers was a pervert who liked to command young and beautiful interns to do such things for pleasure?” “…” Zhou Ze. “Why aren’t you laughing?” “Hehe.” Zhou Ze pushed the coffee in front of Lawyer An, “I don’t want to drink coffee today. You can drink it. In the future, you can drink as much coffee as you want at the bar counter. Don’t be polite and don’t economize on it for me.” “Okay.” The two of them sat like this for the entire morning, for the first time ever, this time… Lawyer An did not say anything about Zhou Ze’s behavior of lying there in the Sun. On the contrary, Zhou Ze felt that Lawyer An had been looking at him with a meaningful smile, which gave Zhou Ze Goosebumps, it was very uncomfortable. However, when it was almost lunchtime, Zhou Ze put down the book in his hand, he looked at Lawyer An: “Did we forget something?” “Hey, don’t tell me. I have the same feeling as well. It’s as if I forgot something. I really can’t remember it at the moment.” … .. In the detention center of the Tongcheng police station, the old Daoist grabbed the iron fence, he cried out loudly: “I didn’t kill anyone! I didn’t kill anyone, I’m being wronged! I’m being wronged, let Me Out! Quickly let me out! ! ! Boss, please help me out, boss, please help me! ! !”
