Late Night Bookstore

Chapter 224: Half face

Views:

Unlike Tang Shi's excitement, Zhou Ze now felt a chill on his back, because Zhou Ze had seen the scene of that broken body wandering around the research institute, using death to depict art.

That kind of leisurely stroll, that kind of slow pace,

It's just like I put out nine copper coins in front of you and ask you how many ways there are to write the word "death".

If someone says "When I go crazy, even I'm scared of myself" it's just a joke.

So for Mr. Zhou now,

This is really the most appropriate description.

It's obviously me.

But in my heart, I really felt extremely wary of that person.

"Actually... you have been ignoring one issue."

Tang Shi said as he walked slowly forward.

"What's the problem?"

“That’s who you were before, that’s you;

You are still you now.

Since you are you now, then you were not you before. "

The old Taoist was counting many "you"s beside him. To be honest, he didn't understand what Tang Shi meant. At the same time, he began to wonder:

These dead ghosts are indeed different from ordinary people.

In such a gloomy and scary place,

We are still discussing philosophical issues.

To be honest, the old Taoist now regrets coming down with them. It would have been better to stay up there to get some fresh air. It's already very cautious down there, and they're saying weird things.

Zhou Ze understood what Tang Shi meant. What he saw in his dream was his past self killing people.

So,

Eighty years later,

I have become Zhou Ze. I have lost a lot of memories and only remember that I was Zhou Ze. However, the soul is passed down, and this is also the reason why I can become a zombie.

Therefore,

It is impossible for him and that broken body to appear in the same era. Even if the other party is here now, he is just a body.

Because the soul of the broken figure who killed everyone and created the art of death here eighty years ago has become his current soul.

so,

With only an empty shell left here, the threat is definitely not as great as before.

"You don't care about your past at all? I don't get the feeling that you are so eager to know your true identity and your past."

Tang Shi asked as he dodged a dried corpse at his feet.

"I only remember that I am me, I am Zhou Ze, and I think this is fine." Zhou Ze replied.

"Oh, you have a really good attitude."

"I do have quite a few stories in my bookstore. The protagonists go through a lot of hardships and hatred to solve the mystery of their own life experience and find the forgotten truth, but that is so tiring."

"That makes sense." Tang Shi nodded.

"In fact, the most important thing is that if I find my old self again, I am afraid that I will not be the person I am now. For the person I am now, it is almost the same as being 'killed'."

The old Taoist was really confused when he heard this from behind.

Mother,

These two guys are addicted to chatting, right

And we talked so deeply.

finally,

When I arrived at the door of the laboratory, it was closed.

"In the end, he made himself run back to the safe?" Tang Shi asked.

"I don't know."

"Squeak..."

The rotten door slowly opened, making a harsh friction sound that kept echoing in the research institute. Echoes could be heard in some corners in the distance, as if dead souls were still wailing.

"Ms. Tang, can you please open the door honestly with your hands now? I always feel uneasy when you open the door like that."

The old Taoist complained quietly beside him.

Tang Shi looked at the old Taoist priest and shrugged.

"If I tell you that I didn't use telekinesis just now, would you feel even more panicked?"

“… …” old Taoist.

Tang Shi didn't rush in, but looked around again. She always felt as if there was something hidden in some dark place watching her and others.

"Zhou Ze, it seems that we have been ignoring the most fundamental problem. I'm sorry, I have never dealt with such a complicated matter as yours, so I have been ignoring it and never thought about it."

"What?"

"That is, since you are here now, you are Zhou Ze. Doesn't that mean something must have happened to the person who stayed here during these eighty years

otherwise,

where u from?"

“Bang!”

As soon as Tang Shi finished speaking,

A muffled sound was heard from inside the laboratory.

Tang Shi's eyes fixed, and without bothering to continue discussing the previous question with Zhou Ze, he walked directly into the laboratory.

The door of the safe had been closed, and there was dust flying around it. There was a hole on the top of the safe that was about the size of a human face.

And below, there was a dried corpse with only bones left. The head of the bones was preserved whiter than the rest of the body, as if the teeth had just been cleaned.

The old Taoist hid behind Zhou Ze, holding the talisman paper in his hand, but his eyes kept wandering around the mummy, while asking Zhou Ze:

"Boss, you can take the skull back with you. It's like a work of art."

"You can take it back if you want." Zhou Ze didn't have any idea about this.

Tang Shi glanced at Zhou Ze and signaled her to open the safe.

Zhou Ze nodded and leaned to the side, ready to provide support no matter what happened.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

There was a slight friction sound coming from the safe, as if something was pulling on the door inside and preventing Tang Shi from opening it with his telekinesis.

Tang Shi frowned slightly.

Increased the force.

"boom!"

There was only a loud explosion.

The whole safe flew up.

Yes,

Fly up.

Zhou Ze immediately pushed the old Taoist away, and then moved aside himself to avoid being hit by the safe.

“Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss…”

The door of the safe opened by itself.

Suddenly, huge rats jumped out from inside. Each of these rats was as big as a kitten, with black light in their eyes. After coming out, they were not afraid of people, but gathered in front of people, as if ready to attack at any time.

A large hole appeared under the location where the safe was originally located. The hole was sunken and there was still white smoke remaining.

Tang Shi controlled the two pieces of glass on the ground and swept them directly towards the big rats. The rats were covered in blood and suffered heavy casualties. The remaining ones were so scared that they immediately ran back into the cave.

"What happened just now?" Zhou Ze glanced at the fragments of the rat's corpse on the ground and asked Tang Shi.

"Something is wrestling with me down there."

Tang Shi didn't rush to the cave, but looked at the surrounding walls.

"Zhou Ze, I think the problem now is not as simple as dealing with the body you left behind. There really is something else here."

As soon as Tang Shi finished speaking,

The walls in the laboratory suddenly became hot and began to crack. Tentacle-like things suddenly swept over, and a whistling sound was made in the air with an extremely strong force!

Tang Shi spread out his hands, and his mental power formed an invisible wall, blocking most of the tentacles.

One of them came from another direction and was grabbed by Zhou Ze when it was about to touch Tang Shi. He then cut it open with his fingernails. For a moment, a pool of fishy liquid appeared in the palm of Zhou Ze's hand.

At this moment, rustling sounds were heard from other locations in the research institute, as if countless vines were extending towards here.

“Pah pah pah…”

The nearby glass was also broken, and the vines quickly blocked all the exits and gaps in the laboratory. Instead of attacking, they began to secrete a sticky milky white liquid. This white liquid had an extremely strong corrosive smell, and when it fell to the ground, it felt like sulfuric acid was spilled.

"Fuck, what the hell is this thing?" The old Taoist was so scared that his body began to tremble.

This scene was like they had walked into the belly of a carnivorous plant, and now it was about to digest them.

"It should be a plant affected by this place." Tang Shi frowned slightly, "No, it's a monster. I felt something was strange before. There is obviously not a trace of ghost here, but I always feel like something is staring at me. It's a monster!"

“Baji…Baji…”

The milky white liquid around them began to increase in volume and gradually began to move towards Zhou Ze and the others.

"It's going to drive us into that hole."

Zhou Ze pointed to the place in front where the rats had just crawled back.

"You are so arrogant. We are here, but you don't take the initiative to come out to see us. Do you expect us to take the initiative to pay homage to you?"

Tang Shi closed his eyes,

Then slowly opened it again,

Deep in her eyes, there was a flickering purple light, and her whole body seemed to be floating with her feet. Of course, the floating distance was not high, only a few centimeters.

then,

The wind is blowing.

All of a sudden, the white liquid that was surging from the ground all floated up, flew back upside down, and spilled all over the tentacles.

It was clearly the liquid secreted from those tentacles before, but now it has the same damage to them. In an instant, Zhou Ze's dense tentacles began to twist and melt wildly, and then began to retreat rapidly. The air was filled with the rich smell of roasted gluten.

Tang Shi closed his eyes again.

Take a deep breath.

Her body was slightly shaking, but she was still holding on. She was already exhausted from what she had just done.

“Click, click, click… Click, click…”

A clear friction sound came from the bottom of the cave, as if something was moving towards here.

That thing,

Here it comes.

A shadow,

Rising slowly from beneath the cave,

Like a human face.

The old Taoist took out the flashlight from his cell phone and shone it over there, and his eyes immediately opened wide.

In the cave location,

Exposed,

It's half a human face.

The other half seemed to have been cut out very smoothly, and had a strange luster.
