Midnight Bookstore Chapter 78 – What Are You Doing?!

Xu Qinglang's shop was closed. The shutters were half closed, and Bai Yingying was playing games inside.

Zhou Ze had heard that there seemed to be a lot of cheat code in that game called “Chicken Eating”. The cheat code was called “Immortal”, and because of the overflow of cheat code, this game had the nickname “Battle of Immortals”.

However, looking at Bai Yingying who was already engrossed in the game, Zhou Ze suddenly pitied the players who were playing this game because they probably did not know that their opponents in this game were not only 'immortals' who had external modifications, but also real zombies!

It was time for Xu Qinglang to look for a new shop. Zhou Ze decided to look for one as well. If he did not have enough money, he would borrow it from Xu Qinglang for the time being. Moreover, the girl who gave him the name card previously also said that she wanted to invest.

All in all, if one put down their so-called pride, money could be easily borrowed.

He really could not stay in this place anymore. Perhaps after a while, not only would he be a taxi driver, but Zhou Ze would also see a bus at the entrance when he sat in the shop.

A director led a group of tourists out of the car. The tour guide waved a small flag and said,

“Friends, friends, we have reached the next destination.

Tong City was known as the Wolf Mountain, one of the ten small mountains of Buddhism. However, Tong City was also known as one of the top ten supernatural tourist attractions in the country—”Late-night bookstore”.

This place was very dangerous. There were often strange dead people here, and people would often see dead people here. Everyone, please do not get too close. You can just take pictures outside.

“Make sure you don't take pictures of yourself, just like in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, don't take pictures with the terracotta soldiers. Those are Dark Artifacts, things for the dead. It's inauspicious to take pictures with them!”

Zhou Ze felt that this day might not be far away. The terrorist story lovers' a.s.sociation that had come here to commit suicide last time had heard about this place. Then, the suicide of two of them added a special atmosphere to the place.

He pushed open the bookstore's door and walked into the bookstore. Zhou Ze saw the old Daoist priest sitting there, dozing off. The old Daoist priest's live-stream had not been opened for a long time.

Just as you can't be sure whether the one playing the game with you is a cute girl or a zombie,

“You can't be sure if the people watching the livestream are all living people.”

In reality, among the online viewers on all the major livestream platforms, the number of people alive was indeed only a small portion.

The old Taoist had been quiet for a long time. Right now, he was only protecting the woman called Tang Shi. He did not leave her side, but he was already very responsible.

“Boss, you're back.”

Zhou Ze's footsteps jolted the old Daoist priest awake. The old Daoist priest wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

Zhou Ze nodded and went up to the second floor.

Tang Shi still looked like a mummy, but she was recovering well. When Zhou Ze came up, she was staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. At the same time, there was water and White Rabbit Creamy Candy beside her.

She did not need anyone to help her eat and dress. She could use her ability to control things.

When Zhou Ze came over, a white rabbit candy took off its own clothes and flew to Zhou Ze's mouth. Zhou Ze opened his mouth and sucked on the candy.

Then, Zhou Ze sat down beside Tang Shi.

Neither of them spoke, nor did they have anything to say. After half an hour of silence, Zhou Ze stood up and prepared to leave.

“You went to a psychiatrist?” Tang Shi asked.

Zhou Ze nodded.

“It's useless.”

“It's still useful,” Zhou Ze replied.

However, he was still unwilling to eat the meat soup from w.a.n.g Ke's house.

“Okay.” Tang Shi closed her eyes as if she was tired, but she still insisted,” Help me call the zombie up.”

Zhou Ze nodded and prepared to walk down.

“Are you trying to trick me again?” Tang Shi asked.

“You found out.” Zhou Ze did not feel embarra.s.sed. “I'm used to sleeping on pillows. I don't like to lend them to others.”

“But I cannot rest. It will greatly affect my recovery.”

“What does that have to do with me? I've already done everything that needed to be done. If you want to get more from me, you need to give me more things to exchange.”

“I can tell you the location of the other ghostly servant in Tong City.” Tang Shi looked at Zhou Ze. “When the old Daoist brought me to escape, I wanted to hide at his place, but unfortunately, something seemed to have happened to him. In the end, he chose to come to you.”

“This doesn't seem to be of much value to me.” Zhou Ze shrugged.

“Based on normal circ.u.mstances, Tong City is only a small city. One ghost is enough, so there shouldn't be two. Therefore, the other one should have been replaced. You can go to him to take a look. Perhaps you can receive some inheritance.”

Zhou Ze remained unmoved. “I'm still not interested.”

If he could accept it, wouldn't the little loli do it herself?

Zhou Ze did not believe that the little loli was a sentimental person, especially when the driver had been frightened by her and died in a car accident. Until now, there was no certainty.

“Then I have nothing else to give you.”

“That's all for now.”

Zhou Ze went downstairs and did not call Bai Yingying. Just as he said, he would feel uncomfortable if someone else used the pillow he was used to sleeping on.

“Boss, what do you want to eat tonight?” The old Daoist pointed to the next door. “The boss next door hasn't returned yet.”

“Do as you see fit. Do you know how to cook?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Yes.”

“Then go to his kitchen and find the ingredients.”

Zhou Ze sat down behind the counter.

The old Daoist priest went next door to cook, and the bookstore fell silent.

However, before long, a figure appeared in front of the bookstore. It was a girl. She was wearing a black coat and a scarf. She had wrapped herself up tightly.

Although Tongcheng had been cooling down recently, it was not to the extent of dressing like this.

The girl looked at Zhou Ze through the gla.s.s door, but he ignored her.

Finally, the girl pushed open the door and walked in. She came before Zhou Ze and stood still. She took off her scarf and pleaded,

“Help me.”

Zhou Ze picked up his teacup and took a sip of water, still ignoring her.

“Please, help me.” The girl squatted down in front of Zhou Ze and placed her hands on his thighs. “As long as you're willing to help me, I'm willing to do anything.”

As she said that, the girl tried to flirt with the man in front of her.

Zhou Ze reached out to grab the girl's wrist and pushed her back slightly. The girl sat on the ground, looking confused.

Putting down the book, Zhou Ze said in surprise, “I thought you would go in.”

Yes, Zhou Ze originally thought that this girl would be implicated after the news of her framing her teacher was exposed. But now, it seemed like there really wasn't.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Ze understood. The girl was underage, and the teacher had committed suicide. Even if she had framed him, in the end, she would still try to smooth things over in front of the underage girl.

“Have you seen the news? My biological parents found me to save my so-called brother.”

When the girl said that, her eyes flashed with malice.

She was not a good person to begin with. Even though her middle school teacher had committed suicide because of her accusation, she still lived happily.

Because of this, the so-called biological parents who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, if they were rich, it would be fine. If they had a mansion and a huge inheritance for themselves, it would be fine. However, they turned out to be biological parents from an ordinary family, so it was not very interesting.

Furthermore, his biological parents had asked him to donate to save his brother.

What a joke!

He must be out of his mind!

“You're very familiar with Lin Yi, so you should know that I'm just a backdoor entrant. I have no money or ability, so I can only stay at this bookstore that's losing money. I can't help even if I want to.”

“I would like to invite you to visit my parents' home like last time.”

The girl bit her lips. When she said those words, the scene from that night appeared in her mind again. She was scared out of her wits, and she had been so scared that she had not recovered for several days.

“Oh, is that all?” Zhou Ze asked.

“Yes, that's enough. Tell them to stop disturbing me and stop bothering me,” the girl confirmed.

“To be honest, when I saw the news earlier, I felt that the second daughter was very pitiful. That pair of biological parents was really something.”

“Yes, they are wolves, they are beasts, they are b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” the girl said through gritted teeth.

Zhou Ze lowered his head and looked at the girl who was still sitting on the ground. “But when I realized that the poor girl was actually you, I suddenly felt really good.”

“…” The girl.

However, the girl had seen the world before, and she was able to withstand the weird fetishes of those old men in bed. This was enough to show how tough she was.

In reality, she was like a flower blooming in the gra.s.s outside the window, constantly experiencing the wind, rain, and dew nourishing the stamen.

Indeed, she was much stronger than the stamens in the greenhouse.

“I can make you feel better.”

The girl looked at Zhou Ze. “As long as you can help me, like the last time you were at my house.”

“Do you think Lin Yi looks good?” Zhou Ze suddenly asked.

“This… she's very pretty.”

“Compared to you?”

“She's prettier than me,” the girl answered.

“Then I can tell you that her sister is better looking than her, more charismatic, and can wear a white coat. Furthermore, she is… a gentle woman. So, please tell me, why would I like you?”

Zhou Ze wanted to say that Doctor Lin was still a virgin, but he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with saying that, so he changed his words.

“Help me, or I'll die in your bookstore!”

A small knife suddenly appeared in the girl's hand and aimed at her neck.

“Hehe, please go ahead. I couldn't ask for more. I need the industry…”

Pu!

The knife pierced the girl's neck.

It was very sudden.

Very straightforward.

It was too sudden and too straightforward!

Blood splattered on Zhou Ze's face, stunning him.

The girl's eyes widened in disbelief, and her body slowly fell backward.

Zhou Ze suddenly stood up and shouted upstairs,

“What the f*ck are you doing!”
