Midnight Bookstore Chapter 454

A strong sense of dizziness came over him. He felt a little dizzy and nauseous. Suddenly… it was as if the sky had brightened. His vision was filled with bright white. “Phew…” Lawyer An sat up abruptly and took a deep breath, he was like a drowning man who had just emerged from the surface of the water and had intense greed for the air. Even if it was not the first time he had gone from Hell to the world of the living, it was still difficult to get used to the process of running back and forth. Uncomfortable, it was especially uncomfortable. The sky was bright. Above him was a simple hut made of branches and thatch. Lawyer An found himself lying on the cold hard gravel, no wonder his back was so sore. Damn it… lying here for one night might leave behind the root of arthritis. He looked at his side again, it was Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze was lying on a straw bed, there was a quilt and pillow in the middle. There were even hot water bags on both sides. Lawyer An was depressed. At this moment, Bai Yingying happened to walk in. When she saw Lawyer An sit up, she said in surprise, “Lawyer An, you finally came back to life.” “…” Lawyer An. He became even more depressed. “Yo, Old An is awake.” The Old Taoist also walked in and squatted down. He asked in puzzlement, “Why isn’t boss awake yet?” “Yes, Lawyer An, why isn’t our boss awake yet?” Yingying looked at Lawyer An in puzzlement. “Not awake? How is that possible? We left together…” Lawyer An suddenly stopped talking and remembered. “Boss, watch my movements carefully and learn from me. First…” “That was the last thing I remember before returning to life” Hiss!!! Lawyer An sucked in a breath of cold air, there wasn’t enough time to teach the boss the method to return to life! “It’s over, it’s over now… the boss must have been randomly assigned.” “Lawyer An, hurry up and tell me. Where did the boss go?” Yingying asked anxiously. If the boss woke up and Lawyer An died… she wouldn’t be as anxious as she was now. Lawyer An was a little hesitant, but he still said, “Boss, he went out for a walk.” “He said that he was bored from staying in the bookstore all day, so he wanted to take this opportunity to experience what the Taoists said was a wandering soul.” “Yes, he went to experience life.” “How is that possible!” Yingying immediately shouted. “The boss is such a lazy person, how could he not come back and hug me to sleep. Instead, he went out for a stroll?!” “…” Lawyer An. “Sigh, don’t be anxious. The boss should have also returned to the sun. The approximate location is probably around here. Let’s look around. There won’t be any problems if we can lure his soul here and return to his physical body.” “It’s around here. Where is it? We’ll go look for it right away!” The Old Priest made a loyal gesture, “I’m going to call the boss’s soul back.” “It could be in this mountain, in this city or province. Don’t worry, it couldn’t have wandered too far. It should be in the East China region.” The Old Priest, who had just walked out of the shed and was about to call the boss’s soul back, staggered as he almost fell to the ground and said, “It couldn’t have wandered too far, only in Eastern China?” At this time, Yingying suddenly picked up a whip from the ground. Lawyer An recognized this whip. It was the one that Zhou Ze had picked up earlier. “Let’s go find the boss now.” Yingying gritted her teeth and said. At the same time, she gave Lawyer An a deep look. The female zombie knew that there was no need to fight amongst themselves and pursue responsibility at this time, but this look was very clear. If something happened to the boss, she would fight to the death with Lawyer An! Lawyer An wanted to defend himself. Who knew that the boss was so lazy as a ghost that he didn’t even learn the handprint of the fixed point and return to his soul. When he saw Yingying’s expression at this time, he tactfully shut himself up. He couldn’t reason with women, especially angry women. “…” When Lawyer An’s “Biu” disappeared, Zhou Ze’s body began to fade. Next came the foggy view and many things seemed to be stretched. At this time, the human senses did not fail. Except they were turned upside down. This was more uncomfortable than a failure. There was a feeling of car sickness that was amplified by a 100. Zhou Ze did not know when this feeling ended. When he woke up, he found himself standing at the door of a temple. An almost instinctive sense of crisis-hit him. Zhou Ze did not have time to observe the situation around him, but he knew that he had to leave this place and began to run. Compared to the first time he died and came out of Hell, he drifted helplessly like a lonely ghost. At least now, even in his soul state, he could still run consciously. No longer completely confused. Zhou Ze knew in his heart that in the secular world, there were very few religious places that truly had spirits. Regardless of the religious place, those that could restrain evil spirits were completely rare. Zhou Ze did not dare to take this gamble. What if he was unlucky and lost the lottery? This was a road that he kept drifting along. He was trying hard to find his location. His ultimate goal was to find his physical body. However, this was a little difficult as Zhou Ze remembered that his physical body should still be in the mountains. However, he was clearly in a city. Many cars and people were coming and going. Where was the appearance of the depths of the mountains? In front… a convoy appeared. The convoy was driving very slowly. The speed of the convoy was about the same as the speed of the many people who were accompanying the convoy as they walked piously. Zhou Ze did not pay attention to them at the beginning. He was more focused on the two black-furred wild dogs that had gathered around him. These two wild dogs had gone crazy for some unknown reason and kept barking at him. Moreover, they were extremely valiant and started to follow him. Domestic dogs were usually very timid. Even if they saw something dirty, they would not dare to do anything. However, wild dogs had a rotten life anyway. It was somewhat similar to how humans were not afraid of wearing shoes when they were barefooted. Zhou Ze kicked them. He did not have a body now, but the strength of his soul was not something that an ordinary dead soul could compare to. One of the black dogs rolled over like a spring onion. There were no external injuries, but it looked a lot more dispirited. Seeing this, the other black dog became more obedient. It only dared to stay where it was and bark at Zhou Ze as it did not dare to follow him anymore. When a tiger falls, it will be bullied by dogs. Boss Zhou sighed and prepared to cross the road to take a look. There was a book and newspaper stand over there. He should be able to confirm his location through the tourist guide map posted in the newspaper. As for how he should float and contact Bai Yingying, that was a matter for another time. Boss Zhou, who was purely in his soul state and was not used to it. He could only slowly fumble around. Although his soul was slowly dissipating, his body was completely different from the body he had when he first died in the past. He did not have to worry about his “soul dissipating” for the time being. If Zhou Ze wanted to, he could turn into a baleful ghost at any time. However, the price of turning into a baleful ghost was too high. Boss Zhou still wanted to return to his original body and continue to sit in the bookstore, enjoying the sun and drinking coffee. The motorcade was approaching, but it was still driving very slowly. Zhou Ze didn’t take it seriously, he immediately planned to pass through the middle of the motorcade. Since he was a ghost, he was fearless as he didn’t need to look at any traffic lights. Moreover… This feeling of being able to freely pass through was quite new. It was like he had obtained a new game, and he always wanted to have some fun first. However… when Zhou Ze passed through the van in the middle, he was suddenly stunned. He saw that the van was filled with monks wearing kasaya. However, there was no light above their heads. In the eyes of ghosts, it meant that they were “harmless to humans and animals” as they could be considered the type of people who ate dry rice. Even though they seemed to be chanting the scriptures, they didn’t seem to have any lethality. Not to mention a ghost of Zhou Ze’s level, even an ordinary dead soul would not affect. Among them was a fat monk who was also reciting the scriptures. When Zhou Ze passed by him, he discovered that he was humming the Doraemon theme song. Amidst the chanting of the monks, it didn’t clash at all. Moreover, it blended in perfectly. Following that was a scene that made Zhou Ze’s scalp tingle instantly. In the middle of the car where a group of fake and inferior monks were sitting, there was a glass cabinet with a wooden box in it. When Boss Zhou passed through the van, the box bounced off by itself. There were some colorful things inside like marbles that suddenly lit up! This was Buddha’s light that ordinary people couldn’t see with the naked eye! A huge sense of crisis immediately struck, Zhou Ze knew what this thing was. It was sarira, and it was a genuine high monk’s sarira! He was so unlucky that he had to cross the road and coincidentally bump into the convoy transporting the sarira exhibition. Except It was too late to regret crossing the road and not walking on the sidewalk and not looking at the traffic lights. The Buddha’s light arrived as he could vaguely see a glowing monk glaring at him, Zhou Ze was immediately blown away. Even Zhou Ze seemed to let out an extremely angry roar from the depths of his heart. The thunder that Zhou Ze stepped on didn’t just hit him. Even the winning hook that was still comfortably digesting the last meal was also affected. Zhou Ze only felt that he was frantically retreating. The sound of the wind was ringing in his ears, it was like a soldier on the battlefield being blown into the sky by a grenade. The monks in the van were also shocked as they did not see the light, but the sudden opening of the sarira box locked inside the glass cabinet still gave them a great fright. Could it be that they were not sincere and were warned by the departed spirit of an eminent monk? Especially that fat monk who was humming the Doraemon theme song. His face turned pale from fright as his hands and feet began to tremble…
