Midnight Bookstore Chapter 161 – Sacrifice In The Sea!

O sea, O sea, thou art all water…

Zhou Ze leaned against the door frame and looked at the surging waves outside. He felt a little helpless, but also a little headache. He felt like he had just stood up from the pile of corpses after the battle between the two sides ended, only to realize that another group of enemy cavalry had appeared.

It was as if all his previous efforts were a joke, a farce, and meaningless.

“Boss! Come here, Boss!”

At that moment, Bai Yingying suddenly shouted from above, as though she had encountered an emergency.

Zhou Ze raised his head and looked at it. Then, he tried to stretch his hand out. It was cold to the touch and felt exceptionally real.

Actually, everyone knew in their hearts that this was fake. This was definitely fake.

It was not like the legendary Dragon King drowned Chentang Pa.s.s and forced him to his death. Zhou Ze did not think that the Sea G.o.d would really flood Tong City just to find trouble with him.

Firstly, the other party probably did not have such an exaggerated magical power.

Secondly, even if he did, he would not dare to do so.

The seawater was fake, but here was the problem. It could deceive all your senses and make all your senses think that you were drowning.

This could be a form of hypnosis, but it was beyond hypnosis. Ghosts would use this method to lure and kill people, but this one was even scarier.

Zhou Ze believed that even if he made a wooden boat and floated out now, he would probably be able to float on the surface of the sea for ten to fifteen days without any changes. He would make himself die of thirst, hunger, or drown.

Holding the wall, Zhou Ze slowly walked up the stairs. Bai Yingying had just called him.

When Zhou Ze walked out of the staircase with some difficulty, he realized that he was not standing on the second floor of the residential building but on the deck of a cruise ship.

“Boss, this place has changed.”

Bai Yingying stood on the deck and shouted at Zhou Ze.

“Where are the old man and the woman?” Zhou Ze asked.

Earlier, he had arranged for Bai Yingying to protect the old man and the woman on the second floor, but now, she was alone.

Then, Zhou Ze subconsciously sat on the chair beside him and heaved a sigh of relief. There was a parasol above his head, and there were drinks and drinks beside him.

Zhou Ze was really a little tired. It was already a blessing that this body did not fall apart after being tormented by him repeatedly. Now, even a slight movement could cause all the joints in his body to ache.

“I'm not sure. Just now, I felt my vision blur, and then I realized that I was on a cruise ship.”

Whiteingale surveyed her surroundings and continued, “Even though I know this is all fake, similar to the trick that my wife used in the past, it's so real. Even the smell in the air is the same.”

Zhou Ze nodded and poured himself some ice water. He took two sips and said,

“If I'm not wrong, this cruise should be the one that got into trouble five years ago. Look around, that family should be here,” Zhou Ze reminded.

“What if we find it?”

“I don't know. I don't know how to trick people.”

Zhou Ze reached out and rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his brows. Since he was already here, he might as well take things as they came. If the great Sea G.o.d did not want to give up, then he could only wait and agree. After all, their bodies were not on the same level.

In fact, Zhou Ze had always been roasted on the fire. The key reason was that the Sea G.o.d's position was too high, and he did not want to chat with Zhou Ze. Naturally, he did not want to negotiate terms with Zhou Ze.

Bai Yingying went upstairs obediently. The cruise had three floors, one in the middle deck, one on the upper deck, and one in the cabin. Soon, Bai Yingying came down and said,

“There's no one up there.”

“Then let's go down and take a look.”

Bai Yingying went down to take a look. When Zhou Ze came up earlier, the living room was still the same, but when Bai Yingying went down, it became the cabin.

“Boss, there's still no one,” Bai Yingying called after she was done checking.

“No one?” Zhou Ze could not believe it.

“That's right. I've checked every room below and confirmed that there's no one there. There's not even a single crew member. This cruise ship is parked on the sea.”

“This shouldn't be.” Zhou Ze muttered to himself.

Those with higher positions always liked to play some kind of karmic game, because this way, they would appear to be more cla.s.sy, just like how Patriarch Subhuti had knocked the back of Sun Wukong's head three times.

Previously, when he saw the seawater and the cruise ship, Zhou Ze felt that the Sea G.o.d wanted them to see what had happened five years ago.

Or rather, the Sea G.o.d wanted to punish the person he wanted to punish while showing off a high-end tactic. He wanted to show off to the point that one would be obedient and could only clap and shout from the side.

“Oh

I see.

As expected.

“This is actually the case…”

“But now, you've only created the ocean and a cruise ship. Other than yourself and Bai Yingying, there are no extras?”

How could this script continue?

Could it be that the Sea G.o.d did not have enough electricity, so he could only handle half of it?

“Check again to see if there's any other information.”

Zhou Ze could only grit his teeth and stand up. He walked down first while Bai Yingying went up to check again.

It was not that there was not enough electricity to produce a semi-finished product.

Zhou Ze could only shout this in his heart. Because if the other party was only building a stage and the Sea G.o.d wanted to show off in front of him, the worst case scenario would be that the Sea G.o.d succeeded and showed off his face. Then, the person who deserved to die would die. He could not save the person, and there would be no news of the rest of the payment. However, after that, they could return to their own homes and find their own mothers.

But if it was a semi-finished product, how was he going to continue acting in this script?

He and Bai Yingying were standing there awkwardly?

G.o.d knew how long this illusion could last. He did not know anything about this. Bai Yingying might know a little, but she was only half a bucket of water. He could not possibly stay in this place for decades and sixty years. He could only leave after Bai Yingying's cultivation became stronger or he evolved a little more.

During this period of time, not only was there no sour plum juice, but there was also no food. With his body, he could not resist not eating for so long.

As he thought about it, Zhou Ze actually stuck his head out the window and looked down at the sea.

Are there any fish?

If there were fish, he could survive by eating them.

However, upon closer inspection, Zhou Ze realized that there was a black object below the surface of the water. It was like seaweed, drifting with the waves but never leaving the deck.

Zhou Ze subconsciously bent down and reached out with his walking stick. He wanted to reach into the water, but he did not succeed. Instead, he almost fell into the sea.

With his body condition that was comparable to that of an old man in his seventies or eighties, if he fell down, he would really drown to death. He could not even make a final struggle.

Yingying.

Zhou Ze shouted.

Deng deng deng…

The whiteingale quickly ran down.

“Boss, what's wrong?”

“Go into the water and see what this is,” Zhou Ze said as he pointed down.

Bai Yingying looked down and noticed the black seaweed. She immediately jumped down.

Beautiful posture.

Movement standards.

The water was very small.

After falling into the water, Bai Yingying continued to hide while Zhou Ze waited.

About half a minute later, the white oriole emerged from the water. At this time, the female zombie's entire body was wet, and even her skin was a little pale. Zhou Ze did not think that she was frozen because the temperature of the sea was too low.

Zombies are afraid of the cold?

Was that possible?

“What is that?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Boss, they… they…”

“Hurry up and tell me,” Zhou Ze urged.

This concerned whether he and Bai Yingying could leave this d.a.m.ned place.

“They're all down there. Boss, the whole family is down there.”

Bai Yingying pointed down.

“They're all down there?” Zhou Ze was surprised. At the same time, he thought of something and pointed at the black seaweed. “This is hair?”

“Yes, hair,” Bai Yingying confirmed.

“They drowned?”

“Er…”

A dazed expression appeared on the whiteingale's face. She looked conflicted, troubled, and helpless.

If it were not for the fact that the distance was too far and his walking stick was not long enough, Zhou Ze would have raised his walking stick and hit her on the head. At this time, you're still in the water and acting cute?

“Boss, jump down and take a look for yourself. It's not easy to describe,” Bai Yingying said.

“…” Zhou Ze.

If I could jump down, why didn't I just jump down and call you?

“Boss, come down. I'll catch you.” Bai Yingying opened her arms. “You really need to see what's underneath.”

Zhou Ze hesitated for a moment before he threw down his walking stick and jumped off the deck.

With a splash, she entered the water.

Then Zhou Ze was hugged by Bai Yingying.

“Boss, take deep breaths. I'll bring you down. If you want to breathe, pinch my chest.”

“…” Zhou Ze.

Then, after seeing Zhou Ze take a deep breath, Bai Yingying immediately brought him into the water. Her body was very strong, and it was even better than those swimmers. Therefore, even though she was carrying Zhou Ze, this burden, she could still move freely underwater.

The first thing Zhou Ze saw was a large metal cage that was nailed to the side of the ship.

Inside the cage was a large offering table. On the offering table was a statue tablet that belonged to the water G.o.d. Even the offerings were fixed there, allowing the water to remain relatively still with the cage.

At the same time…

Inside the metal cage.

Over twenty people.

Men and women, old and young… The waves continued to flow through the cage.

Some people down there, some people were in the middle…

A woman about twenty years old was the most pitiful.

Her head was stuck in the gap at the top of the cage and it was surprisingly fixed.

Then her hair spread out.

Above…

Float…

Float…
