Not long after Xu Qinglang kicked the door open, Zhou Ze came down and opened the door. His forehead was covered in sweat, and he looked a little tired, as if he had not had a good rest.
As a matter of fact, he had just woken up, but it was not as natural as usual. He was woken up with a start.
The last scene in the dream, where he was wrapped in black hair, was enough to make his scalp go numb when he recalled it.
"Xu Le!"
The sister-in-law had her hands on her hips, as if she needed an explanation from him!
Zhou Ze nodded at Xu Qinglang and gestured for him to come in. Then, Zhou Ze locked the bookstore door again in front of his sister-in-law, isolating her outside the store.
The sister-in-law was in disbelief.
How dare Xu Le ignore her!
The little princess immediately lost her temper. She had come to demand an explanation from her sister. She had also learned about the Maserati from Xu Qinglang. How could she just leave like that?
Fine, you're going to lock the door, right?
The sister-in-law bent down and found a bigger rock on the ground to smash the glass door. However, Zhou Ze turned around and glanced at her when she was about to run.
Zhou Ze's eyes were glowing with a black glow.
The sister-in-law shuddered in fear. She staggered a few steps back and subconsciously clamped her legs together.
The frightening scene from that night in the bathroom replayed in her mind.
That night...
She had lost control of her bladder.
"Xu Le, you... just you wait!"
The sister-in-law uttered the last sentence and left in a panic. At the same time, she was blaming herself for being a busybody. She should have just told her parents about it.
She should have told them that the obedient son-in-law they had chosen had a woman outside!
...
In the study room, Xu Qinglang had been organizing his words ever since he entered. He swallowed his saliva. He could be considered a person who had seen the world, but at this moment, he still had a deep lingering fear.
At the time, he, the woman, and Zhou Ze had failed to see the woman's true identity!
It was too terrifying...
It was even more terrifying when one thought about it!
It was like watching those impersonators on variety shows imitating celebrities. You might find it interesting.
But suddenly, someone imitated your parents, your husband or wife, and you didn't even notice it.
What a terrifying thing this was!
"Last night, the person who drove the Maserati wasn't Doctor Lin or your wife!
Your wife didn't change her car at all. After you confessed to her, she took a day off and didn't go to work. "
Xu Qinglang finally spoke his mind.
Zhou Ze's pupils contracted slightly.
Without saying anything, he sat down on the chair behind the counter.
In the dream, the man in the hoodie from Chengdu had already reminded him. Therefore, even though he was indeed shocked to hear Xu Qinglang's words, he could still bear it.
"How can you be so calm?" Xu Qinglang asked curiously, "Or do you know who that woman is?"
Zhou Ze shook his head. "I really had no idea at the time. I thought it was Doctor Lin.
But now that he thought about it, there were indeed many things that didn't make sense.
She suddenly came to me as if she had thought everything through.
I suddenly became very proactive and impulsive.
She was very cooperative. Even though her every move looked shy and awkward, it was just right to provoke the most trembling part of a man's heart. "
"What kind of ghost is that?" Xu Qinglang pursed his lips and asked again, "What kind of ghost is it?"
"A woman who likes to dance with her hands in the pool beside the Yellow Springs Road in Hell. This woman has no face."
Upon saying that,
Zhou Ze suddenly felt enlightened in his heart.
The Faceless Woman.
People who saw her face always felt that her facelessness was very frightening and strange.
However, they neglected one thing.
She did not have a face.
It was because she had the ability to transform into any face she needed!
That was the true nature of facelessness.
Facelessness could give birth to something!
"Faceless Woman?"
Xu Qinglang frowned. "I think I've read about this in a Qing Dynasty novel. It's said that she's a ghost formed by the unwillingness of the dead on the road to hell. She's been waiting for a chance to return to the world of the living."
"Something like that," Zhou Ze nodded and said, "Find that fantasy novel and let me have a look."
"I'll look for it when I go back. It's the stuff I read when I was young. I bet I won't be able to find it.
By the way, did you have sex with that woman?
Just like what you said, she came to you to seduce you, right? "
"No," Zhou Ze shook his head. He picked up a new cup on the counter and took a sip of tea.
He pretended to be deep in thought and said, "I noticed something was wrong at the last moment.
The gongs sounded to withdraw. "
It was impossible for Zhou Ze to admit that it was because that d * mned bastard Xu Qinglang had told him so much bullshit about the body, soul, and DNA that afternoon that he had a psychological barrier and failed to seduce him.
As a matter of fact, Zhou Ze was confused too. Most of the books in his bookstore were online novels, and there were quite a lot of novels about rebirth and transmigration.
It was normal for the main characters in the novels to have children. It did not feel strange at all.
Why were there so many twists and turns when it was his turn to practice the plot in the novels?
Was he...
Too free?
No, Xu Qinglang was the one who was free.
Only an idiot like him would be so bored as to help him analyze and ponder over a philosophical question.
However, it did not seem like Xu Qinglang was to blame. If Xu Qinglang had not told him the other day, the rice would have been cooked by now.
The consequences would be severe.
If Zhou Ze bit the hook when the woman was fishing, he would end up like meat on the chopping board.
"She failed?" Xu Qinglang asked.
"Mm," Zhou Ze nodded.
"Then why did she set her eyes on you?"
"Maybe she's not as particular as Madam Bai," Zhou Ze said with a smile.
"..." Xu Qinglang was speechless.
"Maybe she's jealous, since I was able to come back, but she couldn't. Besides, I still have a body and a new life," Zhou Ze speculated.
"She's back now, and it's obvious that her target is you," Xu Qinglang analyzed.
"It means that her return isn't as simple as it seems. There might be some other reason behind it."
"For example, someone purposely allowed her to come back for some reason?" Zhou Ze thought about the problem from a different perspective.
"I have a feeling that you know something. So, am I worrying for nothing? Do you already know what's going on?"
"I only know in my dreams."
"Do you think I'm stupid enough to believe that?" Xu Qinglang asked in return.
Zhou Ze rubbed his forehead.
The little girl quickly handed over the job of an Envoy to him, and the faceless woman was released from Hell.
It was very likely that she was trying to catch the man from Chengdu, the one who had warned him in his dream.
However, the faceless woman was obviously planning to make some small plans while she was away from work.
For example...
Setting him up?
"Anyway, I'll try my best not to leave the bookstore for now. We'll talk about it after the incident blows over."
"That's only right."
Xu Qinglang nodded. He went closer to Zhou Ze and said, "Hey, do you still have a grudge against your body and DNA?"
Zhou Ze shook his head, "Am I that bored?"
"Actually, it's easy to get over it. DNA is just a code, but a child is the crystallization of one's own soul. Forget it, I don't think I can talk about it anymore.
In short, those normal people who had not transmigrated or reincarnated in another body might not even have their own children with their wives.
You don't have to worry too much about it. "
"I didn't realize you were so good at comforting people," Zhou Ze rose to his feet and said to Xu Qinglang, "Come with me to the bathroom."
Xu Qinglang followed Zhou Ze to the bathroom.
Zhou Ze took off his jacket and the clothes inside.
"You should focus on your training," Xu Qinglang shook his head. He seemed dissatisfied.
The woman came down the stairs. The bathroom was just beside the stairs. Bai Yingying immediately saw the two men in the bathroom!
"Sigh, I suddenly realized that I haven't had enough sleep."
Bai Yingying pretended to yawn and went upstairs to rest. She did not want to disturb the couple's time down there.
"Get the first aid kit from the second floor and prepare the gauze and anti-inflammatory medicine," Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.
"Got it, boss."
Bai Yingying quickly went up to get the things. She was wondering why the boss and the others were so intense.
Did they have to stop the bleeding in advance?
"What are you trying to do?" Xu Qinglang crossed his arms and looked at Zhou Ze. There was obvious disgust in his eyes.
Zhou Ze smiled. "You're not gay. Why do you pretend to be like that?"
"Do you understand the fun of life?"
Xu Qinglang pointed at Zhou Ze's lower abdomen. "Although it's someone else's body, you should exercise more. Look at this fat. Tsk tsk, disgusting."
Zhou Ze's fingernails immediately grew longer.
Xu Qinglang was stunned.
F * ck.
Wasn't he just mocking your body? Was there a need to be so angry?
However, Zhou Ze used his index finger to gently cut down from his chin. A line of blood was slowly pulled out, and beads of blood flowed out.
At the same time.
Black powder appeared from Zhou Ze's neck to his lower abdomen. The powder was like the ink lines used by carpenters. It was very fine and could not be seen before.
The ink lines fell off when his fingernails cut through them.
Zhou Ze let out a long sigh.
He looked at himself in the mirror and the long line of blood on his chest.
"What is this?"
Xu Qinglang held his breath. He lowered his head and squatted down to observe the black powder that had fallen off.
"It's hair," Zhou Ze replied.
It was wrapped around.
The hair on his soul.
"Boss, I'm coming in."
Bai Yingying carried the medical kit into the bathroom. When she saw the black powder on the ground, a strange expression appeared on her face. She said,
"Boss, is this something you use to flirt with people?"
"Do you know this?" Xu Qinglang pointed at the black powder.
"This is ghost ambergris. It's formed from the resentment of an old ghost that's over a hundred years old. My wife had some back then."
"Tell me about its effects," Xu Qinglang asked.
"It can stimulate a person's impulse. For example, if you want to do something at that time, and your body also absorbs this thing, it can make you want to do that thing ten times or a hundred times more urgently."
When Xu Qinglang heard this, a smile appeared on his lips. Then, he glanced at Zhou Ze.
He smiled.
