Tonight⦠Zhou Ze slept exceptionally soundly, he would not admit that it was because there was gold, silver, and jewelry under his bed. Boss Zhou was a man who had seen the world as an excellent surgeon in his previous life, he could be said to have been a decent person when he was alive.
When he woke up, it was already dawn. He opened his eyes and looked at Yingying who was sleeping with her back to him. The corners of Zhou Zeâs mouth curled up into a smile. Yingying looked very young, which was the appearance of a high school student. After all, when Madam Bai was slandered by that scholar and forced to be drowned in a pig cage by her family, she was young.
Now that everyoneâs nutritional conditions were better, the image of a high school girl was no longer simple to be looked at as a little sister. The protruding part had already shown the charm of a real woman. While still retaining the innocence of a young girl that had not completely faded away, just like a freshly ripened fruit that still had a tinge of green. The sweet taste was tinged with a faint sourness. Instead, it could give more stimulation to your taste buds.
Zhou Zeâs gaze began to look down at Yingyingâs pajamas that were gauzy, with a kind of hazy yet beautiful visual experience. At this time, Zhou Ze did not have any improper or distracting thoughts. He only felt that⦠lying next to him was the most exquisite piece of porcelain. It was just like the Jade Cabbage under his bed.
âHmm⦠why would I think of the Jade Cabbage?â
He got up and went to the bathroom downstairs to take a shower. Zhou Ze habitually sat on the sofa seat that he liked.
âHey, Ah Ze⦠Lin Ke went back in the morning. She took a taxi home by herself.â
Xu Qinglang had already woken up. At this moment, he was sitting at the counter and drawing talismans. In his words⦠âEvery morning was the time when a personâs energy was at its peak, drawing talismans at this time allowed one to focus more and draw better quality talismans.â
âOkay.â Zhou Ze nodded.
Little Loli had left. Lawyer An had not returned from investigating the black shadows from last night. The Old Priest was still locked up in prison, so the bookstore seemed much more empty now. Every day, Zhou Ze would awaken Yingying so that she would wake up as well. She would bring him coffee and freshly pressed newspapers.
Regardless of the wind and rain outside⦠The mornings in the bookstore⦠always had an unshakable rhythm and style. Zhou Ze enjoyed this feeling very much. As if, only in this way⦠could one still be conscious and understand, âOh, so Iâm still alive.â
However, the phone on the coffee table then rang. Zhou Ze frowned slightly and did not answer. The phone rang again. Zhou Ze continued to frown and still did not answer. When the phone rang for the third time⦠Yingying, who was cleaning the room, walked over, hung up the phone, and turned it off.
The master and servant were connected in spirit. Xu Qinglang stretched lazily as if he had just completed a talisman. He was immersed in the joy of success. He picked up the talisman and waved it at Zhou Ze:
âThunder Talisman, I drew it.â
âIs it as powerful as Pikachuâs 100,000 volts?â
ââ¦â Xu Qinglang.
âThe talisman you gave me last time was called âWater Dragonâs Roarâ, right?â
âI almost died from it.â
âThat was a mistake. The talisman this time is a lightning-type talisman. With my copper coin sword, the two of them combined⦠Iâm not afraid even if I fight a zombie head-on.â
âYingying, did you hear that? Quick, beat him up.â
ââ¦â Xu Qinglang.
Yingying glanced at Xu Qinglang. She knew that her boss was joking, so she didnât go up and beat him up.
âI say, Old Zhou⦠I wonder what name this talisman should be called?â
Xu Qinglang was like a child who had gotten a new toy. He was extremely happy. Zhou Ze was also looking forward to him. If Old Xu could grow to the level of his abnormal master, then he would be strong. If he didnât summon that consciousness, it would be almost impossible to solve.
âA name? you can call itâ¦â
âForget it, Iâm out of my mind. I asked you to give me a name.â Xu Qinglang waved his hand, indicating that he didnât need it anymore.
âHey, do you have any opinions?â
âCoffee, newspapers, and sugar? Scrub my back and then go to bed?â
âIâm too embarrassed to use such a name in the future.â
âWhat kind of name do you want?â Zhou Ze asked.
âSomething more domineering.â
âI thought you wanted something more feminine.â
Zhou Ze got up and walked to the counter. He picked up the talisman that Xu Qinglang had just drawn, âDomineering? A righteous name?â
âYes.â
âI have one.â
Xu Qinglang was stunned for a moment and said, âTell me about it.â
Zhou Ze held the talisman paper in his hand. He could indeed sense the feeling of lightning flowing inside the talisman paper. As long as it was not activated, it would not be affected. He immediately unfolded the talisman paper in his hand and uttered in a low voice, âRich and powerful!â
ââ¦â Xu Qinglang.
âDemocracy!â
ââ¦â Xu Qinglang.
âCivilization!â
âHarmony!â Xu Qinglang.
âYo, you even learned to answer first?â Zhou Ze said with a smile.
Xu Qinglang frowned slightly and had an expression that said, âAre you f*cking kidding me?â
âHey, this name is pretty good. Think about it. In the future, when you encounter monsters or ghosts⦠take your talisman and shout âFu Qiangâ. Shua, throw a talisman and shout âdemocracyâ. How stylishâ¦â
âThe demons and ghosts were scared to death by your slogan.â
âHehehe.â Xu Qing put on a fake smile. Then, he reached out his hand and said, âReturn the talisman to me. Iâll give you âharmonyâ to eat first.â
At this moment⦠a black car came from outside. The car stopped directly in front of the bookstore. The door was opened and Wang Ke, who looked very manly in casual clothes, walked out. Wang Ke always gave people a deep feeling. He was a bit like Wu Xiubo on the screen, but Wang Keâs background was bumpier than Wu Xiuboâs background.
Zhou Ze had always felt that Wang Keâs name was not good, Wang Ke⦠who would be bumpy if you were not bumpy. He pushed open the bookstore door, Wang Ke first looked at Zhou Ze and said, âWhereâs Ruirui?â
Wang Ruirui was the name of Wang Keâs daughter, Lin Ke was the name of the ghost errant soul.
âShe took a taxi back in the morning.â
Xu Qinglang raised his head and answered, âShe left at seven oâclock.â
It was almost eleven oâclock now, she had been traveling for almost four hours.
âShe went back?â Wang Ke said in puzzlement.
âThatâs not right. I didnât see her at home. Today is the day of elementary school enrollment, and she still hasnât come home. Itâs almost past time now. I called her phone, but it was turned off. I called youâ¦â
Wang Ke pointed at Zhou Ze.
âThe boss owes me the phone bill,â Yingying replied.
Zhou Ze nodded.
Wang Ke didnât dwell on this matter. He asked anxiously, âWhere is my daughter now?â
âMaybe she went to school by herself,â Xu Qinglang replied.
âI contacted the teacher at the school, but she didnât go. She was the only one who didnât go to that class.â
âThen, did she skip school?â Xu Qinglang guessed.
âShe promised me that she would come back to school,â Wang Ke emphasized.
âAnyway, she wasnât in the bookstore. I saw her take a taxi out this morning.â
She was gone⦠She couldnât be contacted at the moment⦠In the bookstore⦠except for Wang Ke, who was very anxious⦠The rest of the people seemed to be very relaxed. This was also very normal.
If an ordinary little girl went out alone, it was indeed very easy for her to be in danger. Let alone lose contact. Except Little Loli was not an ordinary little girl. As long as she did not cause danger to others, it would be fine.
âItâs okay.â Zhou Ze yawned.
âHave a cup of coffee?â
Wang Ke shook his head. âI want to find her. I have a bad feeling.â
Zhou Ze shrugged to show that he understood. After all, they were father and daughter.
âAh Ze, help me find her.â Wang Ke put his hand on the coffee table and looked at Zhou Ze seriously,
âI have a feeling that something is wrong. My eyelids have been twitching this morning.â
âDonât be so superstitious.â
âI used to not be superstitious.â
âUntil⦠I found you, how could I not be superstitious?â
ââ¦â Zhou Ze.
He suddenly felt that what Wang Ke said made sense, the dead childhood friend appeared in front of you in a different body. Anyoneâs worldview would probably collapse immediately.
âHelp me check,â Wang Ke said.
Zhou Ze nodded. If he was the constable at this time, he could use the location of the ghost certificate. He could call out and the ghost guards nearby, including his ghost guards⦠would receive the notice.
However, Zhou Ze was only a ghost guard now. This ghost certificate was like a one-way call. He could only pick up the phone and not make a call. Coincidentally, Zhang Yanfeng called at this time.
âHello, Old Zhang.â
âYes, Boss⦠Iâ¦â
âHelp me check on Lin Keâs location. She skipped school. Her father is worried.â
âUh⦠Okay, Iâll get someone to check her cell phoneâs signal location.â
âOkay, let me know as soon as youâre done.â
âOkay, Boss.â
Zhang Yanfeng hung up the phone and immediately told his men to check it out. At the same time, he frowned in confusion, âI⦠seemed to have forgotten something, did the boss call me or did I call the Boss?â
âPlease, captain, go and find her.â Zhou Ze hung up the phone and pointed at Bai Yingying.
âYingying, go to the internet cafe across the street and ask Ming Ming to check their surveillance cameras. Check the license plate of the car that stopped at our shop at seven oâclock to pick up Lin Ke.â
âOh, okay boss. After checking, can I go there to eat some chicken?â
âGo on, go on.â
The master and servant were not worried about the temporary disappearance of Lin Ke. Bai Yingying ran out of the bookstore and ran to Wang Ke. There were no cameras in the bookstore, with the configuration of the bookstore⦠if a thief dared to come in⦠it was really because the old man was tired of living after eating arsenic. A group of thieves had come in before, and Yingying had played with the real-life version of the âMidnight Bell.â
Zhou Ze looked at Wang Ke and said, âSit down. Thereâs no rush.â
Wang Ke nodded and sat down in front of Zhou Ze⦠At this moment⦠an old man with a messy beard and a greasy face⦠dressed in a Taoist robe ran out happily from the entrance of a detention center as if he was in love for the first time. He was ready to burst into tears, the mood had been brewing. The speech of thanks had been rehearsed many times. When he ran out onto the road in front of the detention center, he found that it was very empty.
The old man was stunned, he couldnât believe it.No one came to get him out of prison?
âWhat the Hell, have you all forgotten me?â
A diligent and familiar crow just happened to fly past the Old Priest at this time:
âCaw-caw⦠Caw-caw⦠Caw-cawâ¦â
A breeze blew, rolling up a few leaves and sweeping them away in front of the Old Priest.
The Old Priest opened his mouth, he muttered to himself in a somewhat mournful manner,
âWu⦠wu⦠wu, boss, Iâm out of prison,â
âWoo⦠Woo⦠Woo⦠Wooâ¦â
