Midnight Bookstore

If one took a closer look at the ring, they would find that there were some cracks on it. There was a sense of regret, and one could not help but feel a strong sense of regret.

Zhou Ze did not hurriedly put the ring on his finger but placed it in his pocket.

This ring was not normal. For San Xiang Village to be able to maintain it like this for eighty years, it was definitely related to this ring. Zhou Ze was afraid that something would happen if he put on his own finger.

Besides, now was not the time to study the ring. There was still one thing that had not been done. One thing, the most essential and most important thing.

Zhou Ze took the initiative to walk to the ancestral hall. He looked at the cheering crowd, and his gaze met the young man’s for a few seconds. The young man nodded slightly.

There was a tacit understanding between them.

The young man had lived to 99 years old. He had experienced wars and all sorts of turbulent times. This kind of life was one in a million, and the wisdom that this kind of life experience brought him was hard to imitate or surpass.

Many things did not need to be said, but they understood each other.

Zhou Ze crossed his arms and slowly opened them.

The Gates of Hell slowly opened.

This was the end.

This was the home of the dead.

It was a path that all living beings had to take!

“Folks, let’s go!”

The young man led the villagers towards Zhou Ze.

80 years of storms,

He had also suffered.

He had also suffered.

At that moment, the young man felt that it was time for him to close his eyes. He brought the villagers and closed his eyes together.

The young man was very satisfied with this ending. This was the end that he had been waiting for, and it was also the end that he had hoped for.

In the past, the villagers had died because of him. When he heard the news, he knelt in front of the old locust tree outside the camp for an entire night.

Then, after seven years, he fought bloody battles again and again. He wanted to give up his life and send it to the battlefield where he fought the Japanese. He wanted to change his guilt towards the villagers!

However, on the battlefield, the more fearless he was, the more he would not die. He had survived many battles, and he had even been promoted.

By the time the Japanese surrendered, he was tired of it. He felt that his mission had been completed, and it was time to end it. Because of this, he hated the civil war. In his eyes, the activation of the civil war was a complete blasphemy against the villagers and those who had died on the battlefield against the Japanese!

The Japanese had already left, and World War II had ended. However, there was still a battle royale of a million people in China.

So he rose up.

He hoped that this mess would end soon.

From young to old, life had been full of twists and turns, but today, until this moment, the young man felt that his life was complete.

The sentence that was missing was finally completed.

The young man was the first to enter the Gates of Hell.

The villagers walked in one by one.

No one resisted.

No one cried.

Everyone was smiling.

There was a sense of relief deep inside the smile.

Everyone was tired.

Some things were fake, but how could people who lived inside fake things not notice anything?

This was a dream, a dream that everyone held onto.

And now, she had woken up from her dream, but the ending was beautiful.

Because of this, there was naturally no unwillingness or resentment.

Some were carefree and open.

Xu Qinglang stood at the side and counted the heads silently.

The last one was the little girl holding the figurine. The little girl looked at Zhou Ze and smiled. Her eyes narrowed into cute crescents, and she skipped into the Door to Hell.

Zhou Ze let go.

The Gates of Hell dissipated.

“Have a safe trip.”

Zhou Ze said slowly.

Xu Qinglang lowered his head slightly and bowed.

“Have a safe trip.”

To be honest, maintaining the Gates of Hell was a very tiring thing, and it had been maintained for so long.

But Boss Zhou had never felt so good.

Fine.

It was indeed inappropriate to talk about results in front of the villagers.

Especially in such an atmosphere.

Should cry,

Cry with all your might!

However, the pleasure of the continuous income still stimulated Boss Zhou’s nerves.

He tried hard.

Very hardworking.

She could not cry.

She really couldn’t cry.

She was already having a hard time holding in her laughter.

Xu Qinglang, who was watching from the side, was a little speechless. “If you want to laugh, just laugh. There’s already a problem. If you keep holding it in, it will only get worse.”

Zhou Ze turned his head and looked at Xu Qinglang. “Build them a monument or something.”

“I’m fine with it. You decide.”

“But I don’t have money. I still owe you money and my Yingying money.”

“…” Xu Qinglang.

Xu Qinglang suddenly had an ominous feeling.

No.

No.

Reject!

“As someone who has more than twenty houses, it’s only right for you to sell one and build a monument, right?” Zhou Ze asked.

“…” Xu Qinglang.

“Think about it. Without the sacrifices and sacrifices of these people eighty years ago, you would not have been able to live in peace and prosperity, and the property prices would not have been so high.

Right? ”

“…” Xu Qinglang.

“So, you’re willing, right?”

“Why do I feel like you’re being moralistic?” Xu Qinglang said unhappily.

“It depends on your mood. Actually, you can see the notes, but some things are invisible.” Zhou Ze patted Xu Qinglang’s shoulder.

“We’ll talk about this when we get back.”

Zhou Ze did not continue this topic. Instead, he subconsciously took out his identification book.

So many villagers.

The results should be enough, right?

He should be able to remove this’ temporary ‘sign, right?

However…

He opened his identification book and took a look.

Zhou Ze was stunned.

Performance: 99%.

This meant that he would stay outside and not go in!

It kept its promise and did not go in.

If he went in, he would be a beast.

But if he did not enter, he would be worse than a beast!

“How much is it?” Xu Qinglang leaned over and was about to take a look. “If it becomes official, shouldn’t you give us some notes as a bonus?”

When Xu Qinglang saw 99%, he laughed unkindly.

She laughed exaggeratedly.

Very unbridled.

Zhou Ze sighed and looked at the smiling Goddess Xu.

“Old Xu, I have something to discuss with you.”

“Speak.”

“I’ll help if I can?”

“Yeah, I’ll help if I can.”

“You’re a Mystic, so the chance of you turning into a ghost after you die is much higher than normal, right? How about this? Let me kill you and collect your soul. Can you give me a complete set?”

“…” Xu Qinglang.

Shaking his head, Zhou Ze smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous. It’s fine. Isn’t there another girl in the bookstore?”

After sending that girl away, everything would be perfect.

This time, Zhou Ze did not dig into the pile of straw. After the ring fell and was taken away by Zhou Ze, the villagers entered the Gates of Hell one by one, and the environment slowly became lighter.

In the end,

It overlapped with reality.

Xu Qinglang and Zhou Ze stood on the road while the old Daoist priest and Monkey stood opposite them.

When he got into the car, Xu Qinglang was still driving. Zhou Ze sat in the front passenger seat and kept playing with the documents in his hands.

To be honest, Zhou Ze felt like a teacher in elementary school had accepted him as the team leader.

Very childish.

But he was also excited.

“Hehe.” Xu Qinglang chuckled. “You’re so happy now. When you get promoted to the government office on Mount Tai, won’t you die of happiness?”

“If that day really comes, I will help you after you die.”

“At least you still have some conscience.” Xu Qinglang felt comforted.

“I will help you reincarnate into a woman in your next life, and I will completely remove your pain and discomfort.”

Crack…

He slammed on the brakes and everyone in the car was stunned.

Xu Qinglang took a few deep breaths and suppressed the urge to strangle Zhou Ze.

Fuck.

He was really afraid.

Because theoretically,

Zhou Ze had a chance of succeeding!

“What’s the benefit of removing the temporary worker’s sign?” Xu Qinglang asked.

Zhou Ze did not answer.

“Did your power increase? Did you get an extra Dharma treasure? Or did you get some special effects?” Xu Qinglang asked.

Zhou Ze shook his head. “I asked the little loli. She said that every time she sent someone to hell after becoming a full-time employee, a sentence would automatically appear in the book.”

“Judgment?”

“Similar to the sentence in ‘Dream of the Red Chamber’.”

“What’s the point?” Xu Qinglang asked in confusion.

“Increase B exp.”

“Hmm?”

“Only a little.”

After saying that,

Zhou Ze looked up at the window.

Gazing at the sky.

…

When the car arrived at the bookstore, Zhou Ze got off first. There was only one 99 left, and the other was inside.

Previously, he was afraid that there would be other accidents, so he made preparations. Zhou Ze did not send the little girl to hell first. Instead, he let Bai Yingying watch.

Therefore, after pushing open the bookstore door, Zhou Ze directly shouted,

“Yingying?”

“Wu wu wu wu…”

A voice came from behind the bar.

“Hello?” Zhou Ze shouted again.

“Wu wu wu wu…”

“What the hell are you doing? Stop acting weird and send the girl’s soul over.”

“Wu wu wu wu…”

Zhou Ze realized that something was wrong. He immediately went around the bar counter and found Bai Yingying sitting there with her hands and feet tied by a black rope. At the same time, there was a rope around her mouth.

She could only let out a whimper.

Zhou Ze immediately went over to help Bai Yingying untie the rope, but the moment his fingers touched the black rope, he felt a sharp pain. Bai Yingying’s body was trembling from the pain.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Ze let his nails grow out. He used his nails to break the rope, and the broken rope turned into a normal grass rope.

“What’s wrong?”

“Boss! Wu wu wu…”

Bai Yingying threw herself into Zhou Ze’s arms and hugged his neck, crying as if she had been wronged.

“What exactly happened?” Zhou Ze asked again.

“That girl… that girl… I can’t beat her. Yingying is useless. I’ve embarrassed you, boss.”

Zhou Ze patted Bai Yingying’s back and asked with a serious expression,

“That girl?”

“Yes, she wanted to leave. I stopped her, and she kidnapped me.”

“Where is she?”

“Let’s go.”

“Gone?”

“Oh, she left some words on the bar.”

At this moment, Xu Qinglang walked over and heard the whole story. He immediately started rummaging through the bar counter and found a piece of paper. He gestured firmly and said,

“When I was young, I was afraid of ghosts and thought that they were terrifying.

When they grew up, they were afraid of people, even if they were well-dressed.

It’s really well written. “Xu Qinglang said.

“I wrote this,” Zhou Ze said. As he spoke, Zhou Ze walked over and pushed the papers and books away from the bar to continue searching.

“You wrote it? Then where did she write it? The B exp should be higher, right?” Xu Qinglang asked curiously.

Then…

Xu Qinglang was stunned.

Zhou Ze pushed aside the junk on the bar counter.

On the bar table, there was a line of words written by a child:

“Braised pork is really delicious!”
