Midnight Bookstore

This “HI”carried a great sense of cold humor.

People often thought that ghosts carried great resentment and a kind of hysterical bitterness, which was an inherent impression of people.

Zhou Ze also thought so in the past, until he himself became a ghost.

How different were ghosts and people?

From the perspective of evil thoughts,

humans knew that ghosts were terrifying, and ghosts knew that humans were poisonous

From other perspectives,

ghosts came from humans. In many aspects, be it personality or senses, they actually had a deep sense of empathy with humans.

The only difference was that most of the time, ghosts were, they had extreme personalities similar to “Outlaws”and “Fugitives.”It was difficult for them to stay in the human world for too long. Even if there were some unexpected situations and they couldn’t go to Hell, the ghost hunters wouldn’t find them for the time being. However, living in the human world, they were more like rats hiding in a sewer.

Humans were afraid of ghosts, but there were too many things in this world that could harm and restrain ghosts.

For example, the crotch of an old Daoist.

Zhou ze reached out his hand to touch his head and yawned. The depression from yesterday’s night seemed to have dissipated a lot. There was nothing that people who had walked the road to the Netherworld could not let go of.

It was only natural that he wanted to return to his own body and return to his original life.

However, he didn’t need to be too anxious and conflicted when he couldn’t find a solution.

“Can you tell me who killed you now?”Zhou ze asked.

The family of three was still looking at him,

then..,

there was silence.

The feeling of being “Stared”by three headless people was really bad.

Even boss Zhou felt a little uncomfortable now.

“Ding Dong…”

Next to Zhou Ze, the crisp sound of a spoon touching a plate could be heard. Then, Zhou Ze turned around and saw a delicate-looking girl sitting next to him, as if she was about to eat.

The girl turned around and glanced at Zhou Ze. No, actually, she was looking at the family of three over there and nodded gently at them.

Well..,

zhou Ze felt a little sad and haggard,

so she was greeting someone from across him, and he had misunderstood her meaning. It was indeed a little awkward.

Then..,

the family of three sat up straight again and stared at the food in front of them… in a daze.

The young girl ate slowly. She ate very elegantly, not in an overly restrained and refined manner. In fact, she ate very quickly, but it showed a special temperament.

Zhou Ze just watched the girl eat.

Fortunately, the old priest and Old Xu were still anxious about the fact that Zhou Ze had not woken up yet, so they did not think about coming over to take a look through the hot spring again, otherwise, if they came over and saw Zhou Ze staring at the girl who was eating as if nothing had happened, they might really get sick from anger.

After the girl finished eating, she drank the last bit of milk in the cup, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and then got up. It seemed that she was ready to leave.

Zhou Ze also stood up and followed her, like a Chi Man following her.

It was not that Zhou Ze had taken a fancy to her. In this environment and in this state, boss Zhou would not go to this extent. It was because, in Zhou Ze’s eyes, this girl was very different from the other people in the restaurant.

Although the other customers in the restaurant could eat, their actions gave people the feeling that they were no different from the headless family of three.

Numbness

Dead Silence

There was an aura of an old lady wrapping her feet.

However, this girl had a life-like aura. It was as if she was the same as him. In this environment, she had a higher degree of… Freedom than the others.

Zhou Ze followed her out of the restaurant. To Zhou Ze’s surprise, they actually walked through a glass tunnel.

It was like a honeycomb. It was complicated and each bee had its own place.

Zhou Ze continued to follow the girl. The two of them walked slowly one after the other.

As they walked, the girl stopped. It seemed that she had not noticed Zhou Ze until now.

The girl turned around and smiled at Zhou Ze. It was a very pure smile.

“Hello, Chihuahua.”

The girl bowed slightly to Zhou Ze.

Japanese?

Zhou Ze’s first reaction was to think of his own spider-man.

“Hello.”

Zhou ze replied.

Zhou ze still understood this kind of simple Japanese, but his reply was still in Chinese.

“Hello.”The girl replied again in Chinese.

Then, the girl continued to walk forward, and Zhou Ze continued to follow behind.

The exchange and greeting just now seemed to be more like a trivial interlude, like a stone thrown into the calm surface of a lake, which quickly returned to calmness after setting off ripples.

Walking all the way to the lawn at the door of the room, Zhou Ze saw the girl turn in another direction.

So..,

it was the neighbor.

The layout of this hot spring villa hotel was like this. A single villa was divided into two, and everyone shared a wall.

Therefore, the girl and Zhou Ze’s “Walking”route was the same, so it was explained. However, at this point, everyone had to go their separate ways. Zhou ze also tried walking in the girl’s direction, but was directly blocked by a thin layer of glass.

Giving up struggling, Zhou Ze returned to his room.

He sat down in the living room and lit a cigarette. Zhou Ze stood up again and walked over to the picture frame to take a look. In the mirror, he was still lying on the sofa. The old priest was sitting next to him and dozing off. Xu Qinglang was on the phone next to him, as if she was communicating with someone.

Zhou Ze was probably contacting Bai Yingying in the bookstore or the Little Loli. After all, Old Xu and the others couldn’t understand and cope with the fact that they couldn’t wake him up no matter how hard he tried.

The feeling of being cared for by someone wasn’t bad. Of course, the feeling of peeping wasn’t bad either.

Zhou ze stretched lazily and shook off the cigarette ashes. At this moment, the sound of the hot spring pool draining water came from next door.

The courtyard was actually split into two. Each side had a hot spring. The sound of water coming from the hot spring was loud enough to be heard by the next door.

Zhou Ze walked into the courtyard and sat down on the rattan chair.

There was nothing he could do about it. In the world in the mirror, he was lonely. He was like a prisoner. He could only go to the canteen on time and follow a specific route to eat before returning to his cell.

Of course, you could also peek into the mirror to see what Xu Qinglang and the others were doing in the real world. However, it wasn’t like watching that kind of movie. You could just look at the screen without making any sound. But now, you could only peep but couldn’t communicate. You could only stand by the side and worry, it was really boring. Instead, it made you constantly frustrated.

Now that he had a neighbor next door, it wasn’t bad to hear her movements. Of course, if this neighbor was a big, Fat Man, Zhou Ze probably wouldn’t be interested.

Soon, the water was ready. Zhou ze heard footsteps and even the sound of clothes being taken off.

It was always a pity to only listen and not look. In order to find clues, boss Zhou moved the cane chair to the bottom of the wall and stood there.

There was also a thin layer of glass on the wall, preventing you from entering or leaving. However, this couldn’t stop you from looking. This thin layer of glass was more like a thin layer of code, instead, it added a hazy beauty to the scene. It was more appreciated than the simple and crude… Oh, no, it was research value.

Zhou Ze held a cigarette in one hand and a wall in the other, looking inside.

The girl had already walked into the hot spring pool, and then she began to sing. She sang a lyrical Japanese song. Zhou Ze didn’t understand the lyrics, but it felt pretty good. It was pretty good.

Slowly, Zhou Ze turned around. He did not continue to look in, but leaned his back against the wall.

For some reason, Zhou Ze heard some loneliness in the girl’s voice. It was not the kind of loneliness that came from having an affair, but the loneliness of being imprisoned here for a long time.

Zhou ze even thought that perhaps the other people in the restaurant were like him at the beginning. They wanted to go out, doubt, and do something, but they were slowly tormented by this daily life of imprisonment until they became numb, they became the same as that family of three.

He..,

would this day come?

“Splash…”

After the girl finished singing, she took a shower and wiped herself with a towel. Zhou Ze could hear the sound of water and even the sound of the girl’s breathing.

Because the distance was too close, the hot springs on both sides were actually built against the wall, so the girl and Zhou Ze were really just separated by a wall.

“What’s Your Name?”Zhou ze asked.

A pervert who had peeked at the other person’s Bath spoke openly and asked the other person’s name.

“Yueno Sasa.”

The girl replied.

She had actually noticed Zhou ze peeking a long time ago.

“What About You?”The girl asked.

“Xu Qinglang.”

“A very nice name,”the girl said.

“Yeah,”Zhou Ze agreed.

“Did you die near here too?”The girl asked again.

“Die?”

“Yes, die.”

“Are you already dead?”Zhou ze asked.

“Are you not dead yet?”The girl was a little confused, but then she said, “Or, Mr. Xu, you haven’t realized that you’re already dead?”

“I died a long time ago, a long time ago,”Zhou Ze answered. “Can you tell me how you died?”

“I don’t really want to answer this question,”the girl refused.

“But I really want to know. Anyway, we have nothing else to do now, don’t we?”Zhou ze said seductively.

“We can take a bath,”the girl said very seriously.

“Take a Bath?”

“Yes, we can soak in the hot spring every day, take a bath, and wash every part of our body. We have to be clean.

“People should be clean. No matter when, no matter what the situation is, we have to be clean. We have to be clean.”

As a man who was obsessed with cleanliness, hearing the girl’s words, Zhou Ze actually had some sympathy in his heart.

The girl really did not want to chat with Zhou Ze anymore. She began to seriously wipe her body, which was to wash herself clean.

Zhou Ze felt that she had washed herself too thoroughly. He could even hear the feeling of the bath towel rubbing against his skin. It should be very painful, right?

After a short while..,

the girl took the initiative to ask, “Mr. Xu, can you do me a favor?”

“Speak.”

“One of my legs..,

is in the pool over there,

can you help me..,

wash it?”
