Midnight Bookstore Chapter 232 – No Loss!

Boss Zhou had gained a lot today. It could even be said that it had been a long time since he had such a big harvest. Whether it was the achievement points or the dark banknotes, he had earned a lot this time.

After all, no matter when or which industry he was in, the students'money was always the easiest to earn.

After sending the students'souls on the way, Zhou Ze went to take a shower and then went upstairs to rest. Bai Yingying had made the bed and was already waiting for him to wash up.

Zhou Ze didn't hurry to go to bed. Instead, he stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

Xu Qinglang knew Zhou Ze had this habit. He joked that others liked to smoke after the event. Boss Zhou liked to smoke before the event.

But today, boss Zhou had smoked several cigarettes before the event,

bai Yingying, who was lying on the bed, found it strange and almost shouted,

“Boss, come on, come on…”

Zhou Ze turned his head and saw Yingying. He smiled and said, “I'm sorry. I was sleepy before, but now I'm not sleepy anymore.”

With that, he lit another cigarette.

Bai Yingying got off the bed and brought a chair for Zhou Ze to sit on. She stood behind Zhou Ze and massaged his shoulders. She said gently,

“Boss, what are you thinking about?”

Zhou Ze did not answer. Instead, he silently spread his hands and ten black fingernails slowly grew out. Black Mist constantly swirled around his fingernails.

Bai Yingying's body trembled a few times. She had an instinctive fear towards Zhou Ze's fingernails.

“Tell me, other than this pair of gray fingernails, what else do I have left?”

Zhou ze seemed to be asking Bai Yingying, but at the same time, he seemed to be talking to himself.

The Little Loli gave Zhou ze a suggestion of “Stealing from the inside.”

So now, Zhou Ze began to really think about this problem,

how to steal..,

how to steal..,

steal so much that the public would not suspect a thing, not cause any backlash or blame. They even had to thank you,

this was a very profound knowledge.

Bai Yingying did not understand what her boss meant. Since she did not understand, she did not ask further and focused on massaging her boss.

At this moment..,

zhou Ze's cell phone rang. It was a call from the Little Loli.

“Hello, what's the matter?”

They had just met a night ago and they had just spoken. Zhou Ze also felt that it was a little strange for her to call at this time.

“It's nothing. A ghost from Changzhou has something to do in Tongcheng. She called me to inform you.”

“Okay.”

The call ended.

Zhou ze rubbed his temples and fell into deep thought again.

Humans had a natural ability to imitate. This ability could not be further evolved from the primitive to “Learn.”.

After putting down the phone, Zhou Ze slowly closed his eyes. His mind began to slowly recall the feeling of awakening the consciousness in his body.

The best theft..,

was actually an imitation..,

how could the affairs of a scholar be called stealing?

Moreover, everything was his own.

Bai Yingying noticed that her boss's breathing was slowly becoming longer. She thought that her boss was asleep and began to slowly weaken the strength of the massage.

In fact, Zhou Ze was not asleep. His thoughts were still very clear. He had only temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and started to devote himself to that state.

The first time he entered that state..,

was when he faced the lady in Green on the rooftop of a high-rise building,

he stood at the edge of the rooftop and kept swaying back and forth, his life on the line

After that was the fight with his sister-in-law in the Lin family. After that, it was in places like Salt City and General Mountain.

Every time..,

when that consciousness woke up..,

that imposing manner that looked down on everything..,

that absolute confidence..,

that feeling that everything was under control..,

zhou Ze was slowly stirring up his emotions.

After that..,

bai Yingying, who was still slowly massaging Zhou Ze, suddenly froze. That was because she saw Zhou Ze's skin slowly shriveling and the aura on his body becoming more and more restrained, it was so restrained that it was as if she could not sense his living aura at all.

At the same time, Zhou Ze's fingernails began to grow longer, emitting a faint luster. The surrounding air was also slowly being suppressed, as if everything had sunk into a kind of stagnation.

Bai Yingying's little heart was beating rapidly. The pressure from her bloodline was something that Bai Yingying could not bear. She even had the urge to kneel down.

This was the first time Bai Yingying had gotten so close to Zhou Ze in such a state. In the past, she would take care of him after he was paralyzed.

“Boss… boss…”

Zhou Ze still had his eyes closed. He was still carefully searching for that feeling. Perhaps it was because he was too immersed in it, but Zhou Ze himself did not realize the changes that were happening to his body.

His fingernails began to grow longer and longer,

zhou Ze's body was also becoming more and more hunched,

originally, he had leaned against the chair in a soft and supple position like Ge you. After all, this way, it was more comfortable and more convenient for the white oriole to massage him.

Now..,

zhou Ze's body was like a deflated balloon, and it began to shrink. It was as if he was stepping into old age, and his body began to lose moisture.

But those fingernails..,

were so long that it was jaw-dropping,

zhou Ze's hands were resting on his knees,

but at this moment, his fingernails..,

were so long that they could touch the ground. They were a few meters long, almost enough to be used as a sickle.

Moreover, the originally black fingernails were actually still flowing with a dark red luster.

“Sizzle, sizzle, Sizzle…”

The tip of ten fingernails came into contact with the ceramic tile floor, the floor actually scraped out a string of sparks, the ceramic tile actually seemed to be melted, leaving a deep mark.

The Orioles were stupefied,

What is the reaction of the side maid, Zhou Ze is all unknown, .

It seems… simple.

But in fact, if it weren't for the Little Loli's words during the day, Zhou Ze would never have thought that he could do this. He was probably confused by the situation.

But at least, from the looks of it, the effect was very quick.

“Hum…”

However..,

just as Zhou Ze was still immersed in this “Memory”feeling,

his body suddenly trembled slightly.

Bai Yingying's gaze instantly froze. She could feel that her boss's aura was undergoing a drastic change.

In the dark,

zhou Ze felt that his consciousness had sunk into a swamp filled with viscous liquid. When he sensed it, he wanted to open his eyes and wake up from his contemplation, but he found that he could not do it at all.

“Kchchchcha…”

Zhou Ze's body began to tremble violently,

cracks began to appear on the chair,

then, it directly cracked, turning into fragments that flew everywhere,

however, under the premise that there was no chair below, Zhou Ze maintained his sitting posture and did not fall at all.

This was because the weight and balance of his body were completely supported by these ten fingernails,

it was a very strange posture,

it was a very discordant scene.

Zhou Ze's eyelids began to tremble crazily, as if he was struggling violently.

That consciousness..,

that consciousness was actually unintentionally triggered by him when he was “Recalling”?

This seemed to be a general trend. Zhou Ze had not tried to stop it when it was about to wake up, because every time it woke up, it was Zhou Ze's own intention.

When it encountered a critical situation..,

it needed an even stronger power..,

zhou Ze took the initiative to summon it to wake up and borrow its power..,

but this time..,

zhou Ze did not take the initiative.

Moreover, Zhou Ze knew that if it really encountered an absolute danger and summoned it out, it would be fine. It would only be the lesser of two evils. But now that he was almost asleep, in the bookstore..,

why would he wake it up when he had nothing to do?

This was like doing business. He would really suffer a loss. There was no comparison between giving and receiving.

Control,

control,

control!

Zhou Ze slowly raised his head,

he was trying his best to control the awakening of that consciousness. He was exerting all his strength to control the initiative of his body.

You,

give me,

go back!

“Crackle, crackle, crackle, crackle…”

In the room next door, Xu Qinglang, who was lying on the bed reading a book before going to bed, suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the lights in the room, and they started to flicker.

In the old Daoist's room, the monkey immediately jumped down from the bed and squeaked.

The old Daoist slept like a log, and with his feet gripping the blanket tightly, he turned around and went back to sleep.

As for the death attendant who had been sitting on the bed in the same room as the old Daoist,

immediately knelt on the floor.

As the old saying goes, a drought demon can travel thousands of miles on the bare land. Of course, Zhou Ze's movements could not be as exaggerated as “Thousands of miles on the bare land.”However, his small surroundings and the people around him were obviously affected.

“Um…”

A suppressed voice came from Zhou Ze's throat,

he felt like he was in a tug-of-war,

the prize of a tug-of-war was whether the key to this door could still be hung on his waist.

If the other party could still wake up and take control of this body even though he didn't want to, it meant that the other party had already taken the absolute initiative.

Crisp sounds of joints were heard coming from the body,

zhou Ze slowly raised his head,

the veins on his neck were exposed.

He opened his mouth and let out a soundless roar,

the windows of several rooms on the second floor of the bookstore, including the computer screen of the television series, were all shattered at this moment.

After all of this had passed..,

zhou Ze's body swayed for a moment, but he still managed to stabilize himself by relying on his fingernails that were inserted into the ground.

“Huff… Huff… Huff…”

His mouth was wide open as he panted non-stop,

zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes,

his eyes..,

were still clear.

But cold sweat had already drenched Zhou Ze's entire body,

he was scared.

Because just now, Zhou Ze clearly felt that the other party seemed to know his intentions and launched a counterattack!

Although he suppressed it this time, the next time he wanted to steal something in the same way, he really had to weigh his options first.

However..,

when Zhou Ze looked at his ten nails that were long enough to be broken off and given to the farmer uncle as a scythe to cut wheat with,

a smile appeared on his lips,

at least..,

this time..,

he didn't lose out.
