Midnight Bookstore

Different from Tang Shi’s excitement, Zhou Ze felt a chill on his back, because he had seen the scene of a broken body walking around the research institute, using death to depict art.

That kind of leisurely strolling, that kind of slow and unhurried,

just short of lining up nine coins in front of you and asking you how to write the word “Death”.

If others were to say that “When I go crazy, even I am afraid”was just a joke..,

then to the current boss Zhou..,

this was really the most appropriate description.

It was clearly him..,

but in his heart, he really had an extremely fearful feeling towards that person.

“Actually… you have always overlooked a problem.”

Tang Shi said as she slowly walked forward.

“What problem?”

“The past you. It’s you

The present you is also you.

“Since the present you is you, then the past you is no longer you.”

The old priest counted many “You”by the side. To be honest, he didn’t understand what Tang Shi meant. At the same time, the old priest started to feel puzzled:

These dead ghosts were indeed different from ordinary people,

in such a gloomy and terrifying place..,

they were actually still discussing philosophical issues.

To be honest, the old priest now felt a little regretful that he had come down with them. If he had known earlier, it would have been better to stay up there for a breather. They were already so cautious down there, yet they were still saying weird things.

Zhou Ze understood what Tang Shi meant. What Tang Shi meant was that the scene he saw in his dream was him killing people in the past.

Then..,

eighty years later..,

he had already become Zhou Ze. He had lost a lot of his memories and only remembered that he was Zhou Ze. However, his soul had been passed down. This was also the reason why he could become a zombie.

Because of this..,

it was impossible for him and that broken body to appear in the same era. Even if the other party was here now, he was only a body.

Because of the broken body that created the art of death here 80 years ago, his soul had become his current soul.

Therefore..,

leaving only an empty shell here, the threat was definitely not as great as before.

“Are you not at all concerned about your past? Anyway, I don’t feel that you are eager to know your true identity and your past.”

Tang Shi avoided a dried corpse under her feet and asked.

“I only remember that I’m me, I’m Zhou Ze. I think this is pretty good,”Zhou Ze replied.

“Heh, your attitude is really good.”

“I do have a lot of stories in my bookstore. The protagonist has to go through a lot of trouble to solve the mystery of his own life and find the forgotten truth, but that’s so tiring.”

“That makes sense.”Tang Shi nodded.

“Actually, the most important thing is that if I find my past self, I’m afraid that I won’t be the current me. To the current me, I’m practically equivalent to being ‘killed’.”

The old priest was really confused as he listened from behind,

sissy..,

these two dogs and women must have gotten addicted to chatting..,

and they were still chatting so abstractly.

Finally..,

they walked to the door of the laboratory. The door of the laboratory was closed.

“In the end, he caused himself to run back to the safe?”Tang Shi asked.

“I’m not sure.”

“Creak…”

The rotten door slowly opened, emitting a piercing sound of friction. It reverberated in this research institute. In the distance, echoes could be heard in some corners, as if there were dead souls still wailing.

“Miss Tang, can we honestly use our hands to open the door now? I always feel nervous when you open the door like that.”

The old priest grumbled softly at the side.

Tang Shi looked at the old priest and shrugged,

“If I told you that I didn’t use my psyche power just now, would you feel even more nervous?”

“…”the old priest.

Tang Shi was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she looked around again. She kept feeling as if there was something hidden in a dark spot, watching her and the others.

“Zhou Ze, we seem to have overlooked the most fundamental problem. I’m sorry, I’ve never dealt with something as complicated as you, so I’ve neglected it and never thought of it.”

“What?”

“That is, since you’re here now and you’re Zhou Ze, doesn’t that mean that something must have happened to the person who stayed here for the past 80 years?

Otherwise..,

where did you come from?”

“Clang!”

Just as Tang Shi finished her sentence..,

a muffled sound came from inside the laboratory.

Tang Shi’s gaze focused. She did not have the time to continue discussing the problem with Zhou Ze and directly walked into the laboratory.

The door of the safe had already been closed. There was still dust in the surroundings. On top of the safe, there was a hole that was about the size of a human face.

Below it, there was a dried corpse with only white bones. The skull was whiter than the rest of the body, as if it had just been cleaned.

The old priest hid behind Zhou Ze, holding the talisman in his hand, but his eyes kept wandering around the dried corpse. At the same time, he asked Zhou Ze,

“Boss, you can take that skull back. It’s like a work of art.”

“You want to take it back with you, right?”Zhou Ze didn’t have any thoughts on this.

Tang Shi glanced at Zhou Ze, indicating that she was going to open the safe.

Zhou ze nodded and leaned to the side, ready to support her no matter what happened.

“Squeak squeak…”

There was a slight sound of friction from the safe, as if something was pulling on the door to prevent Tang Shi from opening it with telekinesis.

Tang Shi frowned slightly,

she increased her strength.

“Boom!”

There was only a loud explosion,

the entire safe flew up,

yes,

it flew up.

Zhou ze immediately pushed the old priest away, and then moved aside himself to avoid being smashed by the safe.

“Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss Hiss… . .”

The safe door opened by itself,

huge rats suddenly came out from inside. These rats were as big as kittens. At the same time, there was a dark light in their eyes. After coming out, they were not afraid of people, but gathered in front of people, they seemed to be ready to launch an attack at any time.

And under the original position of the safe, there was a huge hole. This hole was sunken, and there was still white smoke.

Tang Shi controlled the two pieces of glass on the ground and swept them at the rats. The rats were badly injured and badly injured. The rest of them immediately ran back into the cave in fear.

“What happened just now?”Zhou ze glanced at the pieces of rat corpses on the ground and asked Tang Shi.

“Something is fighting with me down there.”

Tang Shi was not in a hurry to go to the cave. Instead, she looked at the surrounding walls.

“Zhou Ze, I think the problem now is not as simple as solving the body you left behind. There are really other things here.”

Just as Tang Shi finished her sentence..,

the walls in the laboratory suddenly started to crack from the heat. Tentacles-like things suddenly swept over. The air emitted a whistling sound, carrying an extremely strong force!

Tang Shi spread her hands open, and her telekinesis formed an invisible wall that blocked most of the tentacles.

One of them pierced through from another direction. When it was about to come into contact with Tang Shi, Zhou Ze grabbed it and cut it open with his fingernails. For a moment, a pool of foul-smelling liquid appeared in Zhou Ze’s palm.

It was also at this moment that the sound of “Rustling”could be heard from other parts of the laboratory. It was as if countless vines were extending towards them.

“Crack, crack, crack…”

The nearby glass was broken, and the vines quickly blocked all the exits and cracks in the laboratory. Instead of attacking, they began to secrete a thick milky-white liquid, the white liquid had an extremely strong corrosive smell, and when it landed on the ground, it felt as if sulfuric acid had spilled out.

“Sissy, what the Hell Is This?”The old priest was so scared that his body began to tremble.

This scene was as if they had walked into the stomach of a man-eating flower. Now, it was about to digest them.

“It should be a plant that has been affected by this place.”Tang Shi said with a slight frown, “No, it’s a monster. I had already felt that it was a little strange. There was clearly not a single trace of Ghost Qi here, but I kept feeling that something was staring at me. It’s a monster!”

“Ba-ji… Ba-ji…”

The milky white liquid around them started to increase and gradually approached Zhou Ze and the others.

“It’s trying to chase us into that hole.”

Zhou ze pointed to the place where the rats had gone back.

“It’s very arrogant. We came here, but you didn’t come out to see us. Do you want us to come out to visit you?”

Tang Shi closed her eyes,

then, she slowly opened them again,

in the depths of her eyes, there was a purple light flashing. Her entire body seemed to float up. Of course, the floating distance was not very high, only a few centimeters.

Then..,

the wind started to blow,

for a moment, the white liquid that was surging over from the ground also floated up. It flew backwards and sprinkled all over the bodies of those tentacles.

Previously, the liquid was clearly secreted from those tentacles, but now it had the same damage to them. In an instant, Zhou Ze’s densely packed tentacles began to twist and melt crazily, and then began to retreat rapidly, the air was filled with the rich smell of roasted gluten.

Tang Shi closed her eyes again,

she took a deep breath,

her body was slightly swaying, but she still managed to hold on. She was already a little exhausted just now.

“Kacha Kacha… Kacha Kacha Kacha…”

From the bottom of the cave came a clear sound of friction, as if something was moving here.

That Thing..,

came.

A Shadow..,

slowly rose from the bottom of the cave,

like a human face.

The old priest took out his mobile phone and shone it in that direction. His eyes immediately widened.

At the position of the cave..,

what was revealed..,

was half a human face..,

the other half, as if it had been smoothly cut out, still had a strange luster.
