Midnight Bookstore Chapter 224 – Dragged Into Water

Half of his face suddenly rose from the side of the cave, and the temperature around him began to drop rapidly.

Zhou ze subconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air. The situation that he was most worried about had appeared.

In fact, Zhou Ze had thought about it before. Since he was Zhou Ze now, regardless of whether he had a soul or memory, it proved that he, who had been locked up in the research institute and used by the Japanese as a research object, had been moved at least eighty years ago, otherwise, he would not have appeared.

Did that mean that this body might not be here?

But Zhou Ze was still wrong,

this body was still here,

and it had undergone a special change.

Tang Shi had said that there was a demon here,

zhou Ze did not feel it at all anyway.

However..,

the name of the Human Shadow Tree. Previously, he had seen the scene of this broken body slaughtering people in his dreams, and he had personally witnessed his own body beginning to lose control of itself. Facing him now, Zhou Ze's heart was still a little uneasy.

“Buzz!”

A ripple spread out,

the remaining one eye on that half of the face opened. In the eye, there was still a familiar emptiness, as if there were no eyeballs at all. However, in the next moment, clusters of straw-like things shot out from the eyeballs, they gradually extended out and even filled up the half of the face that was lost on the right side. This made the face appear as if it was “Complete”, but in reality, it looked even more strange and incongruous.

“Bang!”

A skeletal hand stretched out from the edge and held onto the ground. Its body also began to slowly climb up.

Its movements were very slow and seemed a little slow. It was like a doll being controlled by a very crude apprentice artiste. Moreover, it seemed to be able to see how difficult it was for him.

However, that kind of aura seemed to be something that was born. Even if its body was broken, even if the soul that was originally in its body had experienced some unknown thing and finally landed in Zhou Ze's place.

“Bang!”

He crawled out of the cave, but in an instant, his body began to retreat uncontrollably, as if some invisible force was suppressing him.

A string of sparks began to appear on the ground, enough to show the intensity of the friction.

“Roar!”

He opened his mouth, and only half of his mouth was left open in an extremely exaggerated and horrifying manner. The other half of his face, which was made of straw, instantly collapsed and scattered. He was making a silent roar, obviously very angry at this situation.

“Plop…”

Zhou Ze and Tang Shi did not have any reaction at all. They just watched the body, which had just climbed out with great difficulty, kneel on the ground again, and then be forcefully dragged into the cave.

The entire scene and process looked a little comical. It was a grand and imposing appearance, and then it was inexplicably dragged down. It was as if an actor had just stepped onto the stage and had not even spoken before the curtain fell.

However, this situation also made the pressure on Zhou Ze and the others dissipate a lot. The weight that had accumulated in their hearts was also removed a lot.

“Boss, is this the old you?”

The old priest asked Zhou Ze.

Zhou ze nodded.

“It looks like there's something wrong with this body. There's really grass growing on its head.”

Zhou Ze couldn't be bothered with him, but he didn't expect the old priest to become addicted to talking to himself. He continued:

“Boss, I feel like you're really unlucky. Your own grave is always stolen. First, the corpse of your previous life was crushed into ashes and eaten as black sesame paste.

Then, this corpse was planted as a potted plant. TSK TSK, boss, this poor priest's job is to show the grave to others. The next time you plan to die, look for this poor priest. This poor priest will definitely choose a safe one for you…”

The more the old priest spoke, the more agitated he became. However, when he saw Zhou Ze's gaze, his voice slowly lowered again.

“Go to the front and see what's down there,”Zhou Ze said to the old priest.

“HMM?”

The old priest was shocked.

Holy Sh * t,

i'm just a bystander. I'm in charge of licking my bag and shouting 6666,

you want me to go to the front and see?

The old priest looked at Tang Shi, hoping that Miss Tang would deny his boss's order, which was obviously to take revenge for personal grudges.

But he didn't expect Tang Shi to directly nod and agree:

“That's fine.”

“…”the old priest.

The old priest had no choice but to brace himself and slowly walk forward.

“Don't worry too much. That thing just now was obviously restricted here, so in the past 80 years, it obviously had a mutation, and it was even occupied by something, but it still couldn't leave this place.

“And your boss and I are both 'ghosts'. You're a living person, so you won't stimulate anything that might exist down there.”

Tang Shi explained to the old priest from behind.

Hearing this, the old priest felt much more at ease. After moving closer, the flashlight shone down, and then he stretched his head out to take a quick glance.

“Boss, it looks like a well down there, and there's water,”the old priest called out.

Zhou Ze and Tang Shi approached it. Sure enough, it was not a cave but a well.

“What should we do down there? Who knows how you got out of there?”Tang Shi squatted beside him and tidied her hair helplessly, “Or, we can leave and wait for the expert team to come down tomorrow. After they find this place, they will think of a way to blow him up with a bomb. He can't escape anyway.”

“Do you think they'll bomb him?”Zhou ze asked in return. “If they discover this body.”

“Huh?”

“A body that can still move even after being dead like this. This body has no borders and no consciousness. They'll definitely be unable to resist bringing it back as a research object.”

“Isn't that good too? You can make your own contribution to modern medicine.”Tang Shi looked indifferent.

“You're very beautiful,”Zhou Ze said.

“Thank you.”

“But now do you know how many men have no place to vent their physiological needs because they don't have the money or the opportunity to accumulate every day? Why Don't you go and help them?”

A purple light flashed in Tang Shi's eyes. Obviously, she was angry.

She remembered that the Zhou Ze in the past was not like this,

indeed..,

people change.

Especially when you realized that your strength was no longer necessary to bow and scrape to the person in front of you. This was human nature, and the person who was most unaccustomed to it was usually the person who stood on the high ground in the past.

“Hey, Hey, Hey, guys, stop arguing. Stop arguing. The water below is starting to boil.”

The old Daoist pointed below and said. He knew Tang Shi's personality, and he also knew that his boss had experienced the anger after his body was stolen. Now that he discovered that there was a problem with his body again, it would definitely be difficult for him to accept it.

The water in the well began to boil,

then..,

the water surface began to rise rapidly, as if the underground spring water had begun to pour out.

For a moment..,

the water level even passed through the cave and began to spread out in all directions. The rhythm and speed were even more terrifying than the explosion of a fire hydrant.

One by one, the rats were washed up again, followed closely by many things like grass, stems, and branches.

The speed of the water was getting faster and faster. It was so fast that it sounded like something was calling from below, and the speed of the water had increased by several times.

For a moment, the water level in the research institute had reached the waist of a person.

Tang Shi subconsciously retreated, keeping the surrounding water away from her. However, in the next moment, a hand suddenly grabbed her ankle under the water.

“Whoosh!”

Two glass shards instantly cut into the water. However, the water below surged, and Tang Shi was grabbed and flipped into the water.

After entering the water, Tang Shi saw that the broken body that had just crawled out and was dragged back was actually quietly crawling out again.

The ankle was bone-piercing pain and ice-cold. Under the control of her psyche power, the surrounding water crazily attacked the body. However, the other party was like a huge steel plate, unmoving!

“Splash!”

At this moment,

zhou ze dove into the water and directly pounced on the broken body. His ten fingernails mercilessly pierced into the skull of the opponent, not showing any mercy because the opponent was his previous body.

“Roar!”

The broken body opened its mouth and let go of Tang Shi's ankle. Then, both of its hands tightly held Zhou Ze's neck. The two of them actually tangled and struggled together.

“Gulp… gulp… gulp… gulp…”

Sounds began to come from below the surface of the water again. At this time, the old priest was standing on the office desk. The top of his head was almost touching the ceiling. Seeing Tang Shi emerge from the water, he immediately reached out and pulled her over.

“Where's The Boss? Where's The Boss?”

Tang Shi's face was gloomy. She did not care about the position of her bleeding ankle. She directly put both of her hands below the surface of the water and let out a fierce shout.

“Splash…”

The water surface that was about to fill the entire laboratory was split open, revealing Zhou Ze and the figure of the mutilated body.

The mutilated body kept pulling Zhou Ze, but Zhou Ze's ten fingernails were firmly embedded in the skull of the other party.

However, it could be clearly seen that the target of the mutilated body was not Zhou Ze at all. He was still resolutely walking in one direction, in the direction of Tang Shi.

At that moment..,

in the unseen world..,

tang Shi had a premonition,

that thing did not want Zhou Ze, who was inextricably linked to him, but herself!

What on Earth was going on?

“Purr… purr…”

The water flow began to spin rapidly. The books that had previously covered the entire laboratory began to fall rapidly, just like a bathtub filled with water that had its plug pulled out.

The huge whirlpool itself had a natural suction force, and after losing the protection and cover of the water, the remnant of his body that had crawled out of the cave once again felt the terrifying repulsive and confining force, his body began to slide rapidly back under extreme unwillingness, and he fell straight into the cave again.

And Zhou Ze, whom he had been holding on to tightly..,

was not spared this time,

there was only the sound of a stone falling into the water,

zhou Ze and his body fell into the well together.

The surroundings were completely calm,

there was not even a drop of water on the ground,

it was still dry.
