Chapter 92 - Vortex
Chapter 92: Vortex
Zhou Ze reached out his hand, and black gas continuously wrapped around his fingertips to disperse the group of people surrounding the man in black. However, the black gas still wrapped around the little ghosts, preventing them from escaping.
Ever since the battle on the rooftop, Zhou Ze realized that his control over this power seemed to have improved by a level.
“You’re a police officer?”
Zhou Ze lowered his head and looked at the man in black who was lying on the ground with a damaged soul body.
“What do you think?”
The man in black stood up. His soul was broken, and he looked quite miserable.
But his gaze was firm and bright.
“I just didn’t expect it.”
Zhou Ze remembered that the last time he saw Chief Zhao, he had entered his bookstore on the day of his funeral. In the end, both he and Xu Qinglang could not tell if he was alive or dead.
Think.
He was relieved again.
Chief Zhao was about to retire at that age. He had spent most of his life working diligently and conscientiously. He was a little like Madam Bai, who had gone to hell earlier.
That kind of person could be considered a special case.
It was like learning how to do good things from Lei Feng. It was precisely because Lei Feng was a special case in society that he had to learn. If everyone was a living Lei Feng, what was the point of learning?
“Come in with me.”
…
It was still raining outside. The girl who was originally sitting in the bookstore to copy a magazine went out to look at her friend. She realized that she had fallen asleep next to the rack, so she put a shirt on her. She did not go in and stayed outside to accompany her.
The two female university students who came out to make money were like the delicate flowers in this city, stubborn and strong.
To them, this was a normal day. They would leave their stalls and avoid the rain on rainy days.
It was impossible for them to know what kind of business the bookstore that they were hiding from the rain was doing, and they could not remember that one of them had almost made a deal with a ghost.
In the bookstore, Zhou Ze placed some peanuts, orchids, and beans. The man in black sat opposite him, and the little ghosts stood by the side, shivering.
“Thank you for your hospitality.”
The man in black said in a deep voice.
“If you’re done, let’s go,” Zhou Ze said.
The man lifted his head and looked at Zhou Ze. Clearly, he was unwilling.
“They are already dead, and you have already sacrificed yourself. You have already fulfilled your duty, so there is no need for you to force yourself to bring them away with you just because of your lingering spirit.
“If something happens midway and their souls escape your control, there will be a few more wandering souls in this world. It might even cause some other trouble.”
Zhou Ze explained patiently.
Actually, there was only one central thought.
I respect you.
But respect was respect, work was work.
You have your obsessions, but I also have my responsibilities.
The living are your business.
I don’t care about the dead.
“Can I ask you for a favor?”
“You first.”
“Help me investigate the cause of my death.” The man in black raised his scarred face, and it looked especially scary. “I’m a spy. Someone betrayed me, or else I would have been able to capture them alive and bring them to justice.”
The man in black thought back to when he was in the car. One of them had suddenly picked up a phone call, and the atmosphere suddenly changed. He realized that his identity had been exposed, and the two started to fight in the car. In the end, the car drove down the ravine, creating the tragedy of a car wreck.
“This looks like something out of a criminal investigation movie.”
After listening to the other party’s explanation, Zhou Ze sighed.
Being an undercover was really not easy.
“Here, a toast to you.”
Zhou Ze raised his glass and acknowledged him.
Then, he put down the glass.
“Did you agree?” the man asked.
“No, I’m just trying to stall for time to organize my rejection. I’m afraid that you and I will be embarrassed.”
“…” The man in black.
“Sorry, I can’t do it. This is just a bookstore, but it’s actually a relay station to send the souls that shouldn’t stay in the Yang-Realm to hell.
The matters of the living in the Yang Realm were not under my jurisdiction, nor was it possible for me to interfere. The only thing I could do was to make an anonymous letter to help you deliver it. No matter what,
I can’t do it, nor am I willing to do it. ”
The man in black was disappointed. He wanted to say something else, but it turned into a sigh, and he drank the wine.
Drinking ghost only absorbed the alcohol smell. Actually, the alcohol in the cup did not seem to have changed at all. Zhou Ze helped him pour the original wine in the cup and refilled it.
“I’ll send you on your way after two more drinks. I wish you a safe journey.”
When a man is about to die, his words are kind.
Furthermore, the ghost before him was about to be sent to hell, so there was no need for him to fabricate a story to deceive himself.
This was a good cop.
It was worth three glasses.
Zhou Ze pointed at the wine glass.
That was all he could do.
In this world, there were all sorts of conflicts and all kinds of unfairness and tragedies happening all the time. Zhou Ze could not care less and was unwilling to care.
He wanted to run this bookstore well so that his second life would be on the right track.
“Is there a trial in hell?”
The man in black asked Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze was taken aback.
He suddenly thought of the teacher who was wearing a hat, and it said, “A beast in human clothing.”
Zhou Ze had tried to help him remove the hat before, but he could not do it. The hat was very hard and hard. It could not be moved at all.
This also meant that Yan Luo Dian in hell was not the legendary place to distinguish between right and wrong. Those judges were not all sharp-eyed and insightful.
Most of them were muddleheaded and muddled through their days.
People always had strange expectations for things they did not understand.
Like heaven,
Like hell.
People always believed that there would be better flowers in places they had never been.
This was a form of mental anesthesia, and it was also a form of self-hypnosis.
At least for now.
Hell,
It did not seem much different from the Yang Realm.
However, Zhou Ze still nodded.
“Yes, everything will come to light in hell.”
The man in black stood up and looked at Zhou Ze. “I don’t want you to help me pass an anonymous letter. Just help me find the body. If you think of yourself as a ghost, I beg you. If you think of yourself as a living person, as a citizen, you have the obligation to cooperate with the police.”
The man said the name of a place.
Qiming Road, Huang Clan Town.
“Your bodies haven’t been discovered yet?” Zhou Ze was surprised.
“Yes, not yet, so I haven’t gotten my name. Other than knowing my identity, everyone else thinks that I’ve escaped with this gang.”
“Let me try.”
Zhou Ze rubbed his forehead.
How troublesome.
How troublesome.
As a new homeboy, he only thought about opening a store and doing business. At night, he would lie on Bai Yingying’s lap and sleep to eat the grapes that she had peeled.
It was indeed frustrating to have to travel so far.
“Please send us down. Send us down together. On the road to the netherworld, I will escort them to meet the judge. I want to see them brought to justice with my own eyes.”
Zhou Ze nodded.
He opened the gates of hell.
At the same time, he asked, “Are they drug traffickers?”
The man in black shook his head.
“That’s smuggling?”
“It’s a gamble,” the man in black said.
“Oh.” Zhou Ze did not understand. Was there a need to go through so much trouble to gamble?
“A gamble with human lives.”
The man in black looked at Zhou Ze and did not continue because he knew that Zhou Ze was not very interested in this matter.
He grabbed the three children and walked into the Gates of Hell.
After a while,
Disappearing into thin air.
Zhou Ze clapped his hands and took out his notebook to take a look. The results column had increased to 20%.
There was still an 80% completion rate. However, based on the business situation of the new shop, it should not take long for them to be promoted.
He picked up the teacup and was about to walk to his bar counter when he realized that someone was standing behind him.
It was Tang Shi.
She was still chewing on the white rabbit candy.
“Why didn’t you agree to investigate? Isn’t that interesting?” Tang Shi asked.
“I’m not that free.” Zhou Ze walked back to the bar and sat down.
“Betting with his life sounds interesting.” Tang Shi continued, “If he was here, he would have gone to take a look.”
“He is him, I am me.”
“Oh, looks like business is not bad today. Looks like it’s indeed a case of the dead moving around.” Tang Shi walked to the door and looked at the two female students who were still trying to avoid the rain.
“The rain hasn’t stopped.”
“You didn’t stay up there and came down to play Sad Wind?” Zhou Ze asked in surprise.
Tang Shi shook her head.
Then she opened her hands.
The paper crane that was folded into a piece of paper danced elegantly and vividly.
“Zhou Ze, do you know that sometimes, if you don’t take the initiative to avoid trouble, trouble won’t fall on you?”
“But at least it will reduce the trouble.” Zhou Ze lit a cigarette.
“Nothing much happened in the past two days, so I’ve investigated you.”
You make it sound like you have something to do.
From Zhou Ze’s point of view, if one disregarded her special ability and status as a reborn person, Tang Shi was just a pretty face who knew nothing and was unwilling to do anything.
Except for the nice legs,
They could play for a year.
“Where are your eyes looking?”
The ballpoint pen on Zhou Ze’s counter floated up and swayed in front of Zhou Ze, as if it could blind him at any moment.
“You look much better in black silk than flesh.”
Zhou Ze commented.
Tang Shi threw her phone out and it floated in front of Zhou Ze.
There was a screenshot of the news.
There was a riot at a prison in Subei Prison. One prisoner died, and more than ten were injured.
“What do you mean?” Zhou Ze looked at the screen and asked.
“How afraid are you of trouble?” Tang Shi shook her head helplessly.” You don’t even know the person that drove the truck to kill you?”
Zhou Ze’s pupils constricted.
“I didn’t do it,” Zhou Ze said.
“I know you didn’t do it,” Tang Shi said. “But he’s dead.”
“It’s probably an accident. What if they like to play hide-and-seek?”
Zhou Ze shrugged.
At that moment, Xu Qinglang walked down. He patted his forehead and said to Zhou Ze,
“Ol ‘Zhou, I’m sorry. I forgot something a few days ago. Your uncle came to look for you when you were missing. He said that his son, who was your cousin, had died in a car accident and asked you to attend the funeral.
“At that time, I was thinking that since you’re Zhou Ze, Xu Le’s relatives have nothing to do with you. Furthermore, you weren’t around at that time, so I forgot. Now that I think about it, I’ll tell you. The funeral should have ended half a month ago.”
Hearing this,
Zhou Ze’s expression.
Finally, he became serious.
Somehow…
There seemed to be a whirlpool.
It had unknowingly started to rise.
