Zhou Ze did not linger too long on this woman although she felt good in leather pants and she looked better compared to the white warbler across the pond.

Oh no, there was no comparison.

When he opened his eyes, he was in the human world.

When he woke up from his dream, he suddenly felt a sense of shame. “The world is so beautiful, why am I so irritable?”

It was as if his heart had been purified. Zhou Ze remembered that in his previous life after the hospital invited a lecturer to give a chicken soup speech to everyone, his mood was like this. He felt that the heavy and tense work pace of the hospital suddenly appeared less difficult to endure.

Unfortunately, the lecturer had a sudden stroke in a few days. He seemed to leave very peacefully.

Zhou Ze walked over from the pavilion in the center of the lake. One of the pavilions had collapsed, but he could still walk.

When Zhou Ze pa.s.sed by, Lawyer An was a little hesitant to speak. After thinking about it, he did not rush to ask about what had just happened. Instead, he said, “That old man has been captured alive. You can leave the interrogation to me. I'll report to you after I get the information.”

“Focus on confirming Lin Ke's condition.”

“Yes, understood.”

There was actually no need to mention this matter like this. Everyone knew what to do, but Lawyer An still felt that it was more serious and respectful to mention it like this. In the past, he would not have such thoughts.

It meant that Lawyer An had made an important report to Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze gave an important instruction regarding this matter.

After that, no one planned to stay here any longer. The place had already become a mess due to the fight. The corpses left behind by the ghost messengers on the ground were enough to give people a headache.

They might as well just move to another place.

Before they left, Zhou Ze deliberately took out a stack of ghost notes and squatted there to burn them.

There was demonic and ghost energy raging here during the fight. Burning some paper money before leaving could avoid some trouble in the future. That was the function of the dark banknotes. It could not resist all kinds of trouble, but it could cancel out the cause and effect of those who did not mean to do evil.

Perhaps some people would feel that this seemed to be of no use. What kind of trouble was it if it was not meant to be? If they had opened a shop or opened a small factory, it would be clear. It was not like you could get high after you got your license and paid your taxes. You also had to deal with environmental protection and fire inspections.

Even if the neighboring village built a cement road, there would be villagers who would block the door and force you to pay. Even if the trucks in your factory did not pa.s.s through that road.

While burning paper, Zhou Ze saw the woman in leather pants on the other side of the river. After standing there in a daze for a long time, she ran away. She even turned back three times with every step, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly catch up to her.

“Are you letting her go just like that, boss?” The Old Priest squatted beside him and asked.

“Huh?” Zhou Ze looked at the Old Priest.

The Old Priest stretched his palm and made a “Kacha” gesture. Perhaps he had watched too many police and gangster movies, and he had taken the role for himself.

“Then you should chase after her and kill her.”

“…” the old man.

“We should at least leave a tongue to help us publicize it, right? However, whether we leave a tongue or not, this matter is bound to be exposed. Almost all of the local ghost guards in Xuzhou have been swept away. It will definitely cause a great response.”

Lawyer An had already packed the old man in sungla.s.ses and carried him out.

The old man was old and did not know how to control himself. His life puppet had been torn to shreds by Yingying. Now, his entire body had shrunk severely.

“I only hope that I can live a more stable life for a while.”

Zhou Ze picked up a ghost note that had floated out and threw it into the fire to continue burning.

It seemed that it was because of that dream, he missed the floor-to-ceiling windows and sofas in the study room, as well as the coffee in the shop.

“Ah, why did she leave?” Bai Yingying had just finished packing up in the room where everyone was. She had also brought the half-finished bottle of red wine with her. She was diligent and thrifty. “Boss, I haven't asked her where she bought the leather pants.”

Zhou Ze smiled. He clapped his hands and stood up. He signaled that he could leave.

When he walked out, Zhou Ze glanced at the four horrible corpses on the ground. One had been split in half. He immediately frowned and said to Lawyer An beside him, “When did your attacks become so disgusting?”

“…” Lawyer An.

“Boss, you killed all these people. We were all on the other side.” The Old Priest reminded him.

“Um… I killed them?”

“Yes.” The Old Priest nodded.

“You killed them. I didn't even dare to come over,” Lawyer An confirmed.

The word dare was very vivid because Lawyer An was prepared to come over at that time. However, the scene of Zhou Ze killing people with his eyes closed made him a little afraid. He was afraid that Zhou Ze would kill him and make an example out of him. He warned the Old Priest and Bai Yingying beside him, “I will kill people in my dreams.”

“How can I kill…” Zhou Ze stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly found that the four corpses on the ground died the same way he killed people in his dreams.

One was pierced through the chest. One was cut in half. One's forehead was pierced through by a nail. One's soul was blown into ashes.

The body was not badly damaged, but there was a terrified expression on his face. It seemed like Zhou Ze did kill him.

In a dream?

“You don't remember?” Lawyer An was a little puzzled.

He did not know what it was to cut Three Corpses. He had never experienced it before.

Although Zhou Ze did not know what kind of opportunity he had just experienced, he could vaguely sense a little change. This change was not an increase in strength, but more detailed consideration of the battle method and details.

“Old An.”

“Yes, Boss?”

“After we find Lin Ke, we'll find a time to spar when we return.”

“…” Lawyer An.

“Don't worry, I won't shout that out. We'll fight under normal circ.u.mstances. Is that alright?”

“Boss, look at the environment here. If it wasn't for the death of someone, I would like to stay here for a few more days and enjoy myself. This hotel also has dining and ma.s.sage facilities.”

The scabby-headed monk and the tanned girl waited for a long time. They were guests, albeit forced. When ordinary people were treated, they would always rush in. These two wouldn't. They waited outside, rubbing against each other as hard as they could, but they wouldn't go in.

They were still waiting outside until the people who were treating them were almost all dead, and most of them had been caught.

Finally, they saw a familiar person come out. It was one of the guests, the local female ghost from Xuzhou.

The woman in leather pants ran out in a panic. Her hair was disheveled. It could be seen that she had just cried.

When she pa.s.sed by the two of them, the woman in leather pants walked away as if she hadn't seen them at all.

The mangy-headed monk immediately reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, pulling her back.

The girl didn't even struggle. She just stood there in a daze, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

Her mind had just been repeatedly rubbed by the great terror. It was a bit exaggerated for her to break down into a mental illness, but it was very difficult for her to completely wake up in a short time.

What happened today was very likely to become a nightmare that would forever accompany her.

“Amitabha.” The mangy-headed monk chanted the name of Buddha. The expression of the woman in leather pants seemed to relax a little.

“What exactly happened inside?” The mangy-headed monk asked.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!” The woman suddenly screamed. It was so crazy and hysterical. It attracted the attention of the surrounding people.

The mangy-headed monk coughed twice and immediately released his hand, letting the woman in leather pants escape.

However, the people around him continued to point at him. There were even some nosy people who took out their phones and prepared to take photos.

The monk leaned against the flowerbed and even raised his kasaya to block it.

“What? Are you still afraid of losing face?”

“Amitabha. Everyone speaks the truth.”

“Why can't I calm her down? She seems to be overly shocked.”

“She's a ghost. This penniless monk will use Buddhist techniques to calm her down. She won't be able to take it.”

“Oh.” The tanned girl nodded. “Then is it over? Shall we go? I still have to go back and water my mother-in-law. She was so good to me when she was alive. I have to treat her better.”

At that moment, the Old Daoist walked out of the hotel's main door. He was the first to call for a car.

The Old Daoist did not see the mangy-headed monk because he had hidden behind the flowerbed but the monk saw the Old Daoist. He knew the Old Daoist.

The monk with the head of a scabbard remembered that when he was in the study, he had mocked this colleague of his across the door. He had mocked him for having a wild belly. Other than his ability to deceive people, he did not have any other skills.

“Eh, why is he here?” The scabby-headed monk muttered to himself.

“What? Him? That ox nose? Isn't he just an ordinary person?” The tanned girl was somewhat puzzled.

“Could it be that the ghost of Tongcheng is here?”

“Tongcheng?” The tanned girl frowned. It sounded somewhat familiar, as though she had just heard of it.

However, her memory had never been very good. This wasn't an excuse. It was the truth. Other than caring about things like planting flowers, she would naturally forget everything else.

“Forget it. If it is the ghost messenger from that city, then there's no need to see him. Different paths lead to different strategies.” The scabby-headed monk flung his sleeves and prepared to leave. He remembered that when he pa.s.sed through the city, he had gone to a bookstore to look for the local ghost messenger to talk about his ideals.

In the end, when he had his heart set on Mingyue, that ghost messenger had treated him as a r.e.t.a.r.d.

“Let's go. It's no fun.”

The tanned girl was also preparing to leave. They were all cautious people. They would not get involved in unnecessary muddy waters. They did not have the leisure time to do so.

Since the people who were treating the guests had already stopped eating, there was naturally no need for them to attend the banquet. The next thing they would do was to return to their respective homes and look for their respective mothers.

The taxi arrived at the entrance of the hotel. The Old Priest called Lawyer An.

“h.e.l.lo, Lawyer An, the car is here. You can pack up and bring your people and things out. Let's find a place to settle down first. Then we can go and have a good meal. How about going to Pei County to eat dog meat? A meal of dog meat hotpot would warm your stomach. At night, you can also… hehehe.”

“Aiya, it's okay. Look, now that the matter has been settled, the boss is angry. Take the opportunity to ask the boss for some higan flower oral liquid to reward yourself with a good meal!”

The tanned girl who had already walked out suddenly stopped in her tracks.
