Midnight Bookstore Chapter 471 – : You Deserve A Beating!

The bodies of the three ghost messengers lay on the ground. Their deaths were extremely tragic. What was even more tragic compared to their deaths was that while their bodies were being strangled, their souls were being crushed at the same time.

This was a true form of extermination. It does not give you any chance at all.

Just like on a football field, if you were ruthless enough to cripple someone with a black foot, you would be condemned by the public. This is because everyone depended on their feet for a living. The act of destroying someone's livelihood was too ruthless.

Similarly, destroying a ghosts' body while also destroying their soul was truly a death sentence.

Compared to Zhou Ze, who was still muddle-headed with his eyes closed, the woman in leather pants nearby almost could not control her knees. She wanted to kneel but she did not dare to make the slightest movement. If she angered this sleeping tiger with just one move, the tiger would show its fangs and tear her into pieces at any time!

Further away, the woman with a black halo in her pupils stood in a daze. If they were fighting with the hope to win, everyone would still be able to muster their courage. However, if they were getting killed like lambs with a single slash. It was enough to crush anyone's courage.

Lawyer An, who was halfway there, stopped subconsciously. He did not know why. He was a little scared. He did not dare to go over to Zhou Ze standing not far away.

If he went over, he might die too.

Zhou Ze did not awaken the consciousness in his body. When he fought with Xie Zhi's clone, Lawyer An had witnessed the aura of consciousness when it came out of his boss's body.

This was his true self. The kind of unruliness and dominance. It was difficult to describe with words. It was like the feeling of a golden phoenix flying out of a chicken coop. It was clear at a glance who was the chicken and who was the phoenix.

When he was trembling in the face of Xie Zhi's guilt-ridden body, he shouted, “w.a.n.g Cai!”

Lawyer An did not notice when the first person was killed because he was also busy fighting. However, Lawyer An had witnessed the entire process of the last two people he killed.

He was sure that Zhou Ze's strength did not increase. It did not produce a qualitative change. If it did, it was only because the boss's soul had become much more solid after wandering back. It seemed to be able to trigger a bit of a zombie state. However, this was not a qualitative change. It was far from the terrifying scene when he was truly awakened. He had fought against the Haechi clone and devoured it!

He could kill the ghosts one by one like this now because his control of power had reached a terrifying level of subtlety. The use of power, the a.n.a.lysis of the situation, and the control of the timing had all reached their highest limits. Although there was no stack of pure power, there was a world of difference in the effectiveness of the battle.

Looking at the boss's sleepy eyes, it seemed that he had not woken up yet. Lawyer An could not help but mutter to himself, “Is this… sleepwalking?”

“Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah!!!”

“Give it to me. F*ck off!”

On the side, the already irrepressible Yingying finally tore apart the Red Shadow that had been pestering her.

The “Kacha” sound was ear-piercing.

When the Red Shadow was torn apart, the old man in sungla.s.ses also fell to his knees with a plop. Blood began to drip from his eyes. His eyes fell out like marbles. They were stained with dust on the ground and rolled a few times.

“Wife… wife…” The old man in sungla.s.ses muttered to himself. His empty, black eyes looked terrifying at that moment. Turning his first wife into a puppet and hiding it in his body to nourish himself was both a life-saving bargaining chip and a very vicious act.

The old man was very open in his private life. Bringing his first wife out to have fun together was hard to imagine.

“Die!”

Yingying threw a punch at the old man in a rage. Yingying had completely let go. She could not be the obedient and considerate maid in front of Zhou Ze anymore. She was fully transformed physically and mentally. However, when it came to others, the female zombie's personality was still the same!

The Old Taoist once lamented that if only he could build a zombie-like Yingying, he would have no regrets in life.

Lawyer An had mocked him then. If an ordinary person picked it up, they would be eaten by her flesh and blood. Then, she would sit beside your mutilated corpse and pick her teeth.

“Meow!”

“Hiss!”

“Beep!”

The three demons shouted at the same time to stop him. They had been watching from the side to prevent the old man from escaping. Now that the old man's last natal puppet had been killed by Yingying and suffered a backlash, he naturally could not escape. When Yingying wanted to kill someone, they did not dare to go down and take a punch.

What a joke. This female zombie was in a berserk state now. Even if their real bodies could still take it, it was certain their current souls would die if they took the punch.

“Buzz!” The punch was stopped by Yingying halfway. She knew that this old man would be more useful to the boss. Some things still needed to be dug out from this old man's mouth.

She raised her head. Yingying tried restraining the anger in her body. She tried to suppress the zombie instinct that just came out of her anger.

Slowly, her white hair began to turn black again. The coldness of her body began to fade. The dead eyes begin to brighten again.

Her body was trembling a little with the thrill.

“Oh! I'm so angry… I… I want to beat you up!”

Xu Le was dead. He died quickly. Zhou Ze didn't bother to waste any more time with this guy.

After Xu Le died, the darkness remained. The dream seemed to be going on. Zhou Ze always thought that this was just a dream. He did not when it began. He did not know the destination of the dream. He did not understand.

Occasionally, he would read Taoist scriptures but mostly he read the ancient mystery novels to recharge his batteries.

Zhou Ze did not know what the Three Corpses were. He did not think that he would do this out of the blue. To be honest, the feeling of this dream was not bad.

It seemed that every time he was killed, he would feel more relaxed. His thoughts were more open-minded. It was as if he had just woken up. There was no good news but he was inexplicably happy. He laughed foolishly.

“Hehe, do you still think what you did was right?” An old voice sounded.

The darkness in front of him began to bulge. A person seemed to walk out of the darkness. He wore a Chinese tunic suit and had a slight hunchback. His hair and beard were all white, but he gave off a strong aura.

The Old Butler looked respectful, but there was no flattery in his clear eyes. You could even imagine that he was looking down on you. It was as if he had picked up a brick from the latrine. If it wasn't for the urgent need to build a house, he wanted to throw it back into the hole and let him soak in it.

Zhou Ze didn't answer. He did not expect that the mountain-moving ape would appear in his dream.

Was this “Friends” or “Apartment of Love” with a theme of “Dream”?

Seeing that Zhou Ze did not answer, the Old Butler continued to ask, “Conscience, is it delicious?”

Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes. Back when he had just become a ghost, he had been knocked out by this old fellow for no reason. When he woke up, he treated him to a big meal. In the end, he ate his conscience.

The psychological trauma, nausea, and even the pain of the myocardial infarction from time to time after that were enough to make Zhou Ze not have a good impression of him.

If not for the incident in San Cun and the blessing of the veteran who was on his deathbed, his conscience might not have been recovered.

Whenever something happened, he would feel his conscience and say “Pain”. Not only was he annoyed, but he also felt that he was a little pretentious.

“Old thing”, Zhou Ze spat out the words.

“Hehe.” The Old Butler laughed. He said, “Are you still holding a grudge?”

Zhou Ze looked at him and nodded. He admitted it.

“A monkey is an animal in your eyes, not a human. You think it's right to kill a monkey to save a person. Have you ever thought that you are not a human either? You are just a thing that is neither human nor ghost…”

The Old Butler's lecture started again. Zhou Ze remembered clearly the first time they met was also the last time they met. The Old Butler stood by the roadside and waited for him. Then, he muttered to himself all the way. He had even used his hand to pierce his own chest later on.

“Many things are not calculated according to your standpoint. Be reasonable and don't just talk about your b.u.t.t. Otherwise, the reason is not the reason. It depends on whose b.u.t.t is bigger and whose reason is bigger…”

The Old Butler was the same as ever. He walked towards Zhou Ze while mumbling. When he came near, Zhou Ze looked at him and said, “Who are you?”

“Huh?”

“Who are you?”

“Hha.”

“Who are you?”

“You know.”

“Who am I?”

“Huh?”

“Who am I?”

“This…”

“I have the certificate. I'm sorry, but I don't see any special use for it other than to scare people.”

“…” the Old Butler.

“It can at least prove one thing. Since the certificate is in my hands, it doesn't matter whether you like me or not. Who am I?”

“You…”

“I'm your master.”

“…” the Old Butler.

Silence.

“Are you worthy?” The Old Butler asked back.

“I don't care whether I'm worthy or not. I only know that I'm your master.”

“And?”

“If a beast dares to be disrespectful to its master, what should we do?”

“Huh?”

“You deserve to be whipped.” Zhou Ze opened his palm. A whip appeared in his palm.

“How dare you!”

“Pa!” A whip struck down. A b.l.o.o.d.y scar appeared on the Old Butler's face.

“You!”

“Pa!”

Another whip struck down. An “X” mark was drawn on the Old Butler's face. His skin was split open. Black fur was revealed. He was grimacing in pain. He looked like an angry monkey.

“Pa!” Another whip came down.

Huh…

Zhou Ze suddenly felt that although it was a dream, slapping an old fellow was awesome!

“Pa!”

The Old Butler was continuously being whipped. He crazily suppressed his anger and didn't dare to resist.

“You see, it didn't make sense to talk to you before. You're telling me the truth about life. Even now you still don't dare to resist. It's because you know in your heart what your ident.i.ty is and what my ident.i.ty is. So, you are asking to be whipped…”
