Zhou Ze's lips parted slightly, and then he subconsciously grabbed the woman who was still walking forward.
The woman was a little surprised. She glanced at Zhou Ze, not knowing what he wanted.
"I take back what I said just now."
Zhou Ze gently twisted his neck,
"Your house is really dirty."
The woman's face revealed a thoughtful expression.
"Don't worry, I'm not some charlatan."
"I believe you're not a charlatan," the woman said very seriously.
"Besides, it's just a few million. It doesn't matter if I'm cheated."
These words..,
It was too much..,
So ear-piercing.
A few million was the same as a few hundred yuan, just to buy peace of mind?
Prodigal woman.
Zhou Ze mourned for the old man upstairs in his heart. Why was he still working so hard at his old age? The family business that he had worked so hard to build was all in the hands of this woman?
Fortunately, Zhou Ze still had some professional ethics. The person who hired him was this woman, so he would not cause too much trouble.
Of course, in the eyes of Bai Yingying, who was beside him, Zhou Ze and this woman were really in cahoots. They were like the New Era's version of Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian.
If it was made into a TV series, the boss and this woman would be the typical villains!
"Your husband is not insane. There really is something dirty here. Let's not talk about the money for now. We'll talk about it after I'm done here.
Yingying, take her up. "
"Boss, you're alone..." Bai Yingying did not want to go up. The boss was injured.
At this moment, Zhou Ze really wanted to poke his maid's head with his middle finger. It did not matter if something happened to him, but if something happened to this woman, who would he ask for the rest of the money?
The woman was very obedient. Even though she could not see anything, she at least showed an "I believe" attitude and took the initiative to step back.
What a smart woman. She knew how to change her temperament. She was slutty in bed, virtuous in bed, able to cook, act, and even pretend to be understanding.
Zhou Ze glanced at Bai Yingying again. Sigh, his Yingying still had a lot to learn.
Under Zhou Ze's stern gaze, Bai Yingying could only accompany the woman upstairs. She needed to protect this woman and the old man.
After that, only the family and Zhou Ze were left in the hall.
These people maintained an upright sitting posture, as if they were primary school students in class. Even the oldest old woman was the same.
That old woman should be the wife of the old man upstairs.
Normally, even if the souls of their deceased relatives did not dissipate, there would at most be one or two. This old man, on the other hand, had a family of four generations. Zhou Ze counted and found that there were more than twenty people.
The size of the visiting group was indeed huge. No wonder the old man was so scared.
If it was his wife, son, or granddaughter who came back, he could still accept it. But when the whole family came back together, anyone would be shocked.
Zhou Ze approached them with the help of his walking stick. The closer he got, the clearer he could feel a cold feeling coming at him. The air around him was salty and humid.
The old man's family was said to have died at sea because of an accident on the cruise ship. As for whether there was any inside story, Zhou Ze did not know, nor did he want to know.
No matter what, this family in front of him was not a small achievement. It was just the right time for him to take it.
"Gulp …"
"Gulp …"
The sound of water began to come from the surroundings,
The sound of water came from these people's necks. From old women to children a few years old, their necks swelled up like bloated frogs.
Then..,
"Ugh …"
In the hall, everyone began to vomit.
Muddy and muddy seawater came out of their mouths, along with some dead fish and shrimps!
The hall from before could only be considered to have been dragged to the ground,
And now..,
It was like a seafood market, emitting a strong stench of seafood. It was like the smell of a room in a couple's hotel that had been used for a month without changing the bedsheets.
Zhou Ze reached out to cover his nose and raised his feet, only to find that the seawater had reached his ankles.
The hall was like a reservoir, and these twenty or so people were like twenty faucets at the edge of the reservoir, pouring water into it.
The water gathered but did not disperse, slowly filling the hall.
Zhou Ze leaned over and pressed one hand on the shoulder of a middle-aged man. His fingernails grew out and directly pierced into the man's shoulder.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle …"
The sound of frying could be heard, and thick black smoke began to rise from the middle-aged man's body. However, he still sat there motionless, as if he was completely at Zhou Ze's mercy.
"Crack …"
A crisp sound came from under Zhou Ze's feet,
Then..,
A green belt wrapped around Zhou Ze's arm. Zhou Ze subconsciously retreated. This belt was very agile and directly scuttled over.
When the end of the belt was raised, it stopped when it was less than a centimeter away from Zhou Ze's eyes.
This was not a belt, it was clearly a green sea snake.
The sea snake spat out its tongue. After it grasped the perfect attack posture, it stopped, as if it was just to deter Zhou Ze.
The surrounding water began to increase. The food in the stomachs of the twenty or so people seemed to be unable to be emptied. At this moment, the water level in the living room had already reached Zhou Ze's waist.
This was fake, but it was also real.
Zhou Ze could choose to leave this feeling and then choose to leave, but this meant that he had admitted defeat and taken the initiative to walk down from the arena.
Not to mention whether he would be able to get the labor fee, he wouldn't be able to exchange the family's dead souls for his performance.
"Splash …"
The painting hanging on the wall of the living room was also washed down by the water and slowly floated to Zhou Ze's side.
Zhou Ze had felt that this statue was a little strange, because most people would hang statues in the hall of their homes like Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin, or the God of Fortune. However, the God in the painting in front of him was obviously not a common one.
In the painting was a man. His body looked like a fish, but he had human hands and feet. He was riding a two-headed dragon. He was definitely a god, but ordinary people did not hang this. This was equivalent to non-mainstream.
At this moment, the sea snake seemed to be slowly shrinking its body. Zhou Ze also felt a kind of clamping force on his wrist. This was a warning, a second warning.
Warning Zhou Ze..,
This matter..,
He did not need to interfere.
The painting slowly rushed in front of Zhou Ze and touched Zhou Ze's body.
Zhou Ze frowned slightly and thought hard. Finally, he figured out who the god in the painting was!
Therefore, he really had to thank himself for reading more books after becoming the owner of the bookstore. Every day, when he had nothing to do, he would sit on the sofa downstairs, drink coffee and read books. He also focused on ancient supernatural stories.
This was... the Sea God!
To people nowadays, the first thing they thought of when they mentioned the Sea God was Mazu or Poseidon. However, in fact, in China's mythological system, there was actually an even older Sea God.
There was a passage in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "The Great Wilderness Eastern Scripture": "There is a god in the East Sea. He has a human face and a bird's body. He has two yellow snakes and two yellow snakes. His name is Yu Guo.
The Yellow Emperor gave birth to Yu Guo, and Yu Guo gave birth to Yu Jing. Yu Jing is in the North Sea, and Yu Guo is in the East Sea. He is the Sea God. "
The ancient Sea God. Actually, when he thought about how the old man upstairs started his business in the sea smuggling business, it was understandable that he hung this statue in his house.
But what did this mean?
The souls of a group of relatives who had died at sea suddenly returned five years later for revenge?
Who brought them back?
Who allowed them to come back?
They died in a very remote place. In addition to the fact that they died violently, it was actually very difficult for their souls to come back. Therefore, when burning scriptures and paper money in the folk custom of burning scriptures and paper money, there was a link that could not be ignored, and that was "Soul Summoning". It meant to let the souls of the people they wanted to pay their respects to come back and enjoy the incense offerings of their descendants.
And this kind of people who died at sea, they either directly went to hell. Even if they could remain as souls, they would be like "Pirates of the Caribbean". They could only sink at the bottom of the sea or float around with some ghost ship.
Now, this family was neat and tidy. They had returned together and sat upright. They had asked the old man to come and visit their relatives. There was no external force behind them, and there was no tacit consent from one side.
Was it possible?
Could it be..,
Was it really the Sea God who was angry?
It was almost certain that the old man's family had died strangely. Moreover, the old man had married this woman that year.
If it was really a great god who was angry and came to punish them,
He was just a small ghost..,
It seemed that he really did not have the right to stop it, right?
Moreover, it was to fight against an existence in the sea for the sake of "Earning money",
Wasn't it a little silly?
Zhou Ze raised his head. That woman and the old man should be upstairs. That woman wanted the old man to die naturally so that she could inherit the inheritance. The ghost and god's items would not be captured by the surveillance cameras.
"Hey, Brother, let's discuss something. Can you let that old man die a little more naturally?
Then, I'll take the second wife of the old man upstairs with me, is that okay? "
Zhou Ze asked the portrait.
"Zi!"
The Clown Sea Serpent suddenly became angry.
It opened its fangs and bit at Zhou Ze's chest.
Zhou Ze's eyes focused. He had been guarding against this snake. He immediately grabbed the snake's tail with his fingertips, and its tongue stopped a few centimeters away from Zhou Ze's chest.
"Can't we even talk?
Give me some room for negotiation, Big Brother. "
Zhou Ze smiled bitterly.
"Although I'm a ghost, the lowest-level Yin Si cadre, I'm still a cadre. Don't ignore me like this, Big Brother."
"Zi Zi Zi Zi!"
The Clown Sea Serpent twisted its body crazily.
"Smack!"
The snake's body broke, and its head flew to Zhou Ze's chest. It immediately bit Zhou Ze's body.
In an instant..,
What Zhou Ze felt was not the injury to his body, but the pain from his soul. It was as if his soul had been pierced through by the snake's fangs.
Cold sweat immediately flowed out. Zhou Ze half-knelt down and supported himself with one hand to prevent himself from falling into the "Water".
"Phew... Phew..."
The snake's head was forcefully pulled out by Zhou Ze,
His black fingernails directly crushed the snake's head.
"You're being unreasonable …"
Zhou Ze muttered to himself, and his expression became more and more gloomy,
Then, he slowly raised his head, and a black light flowed in the depths of his eyes,
