Zhou Ze didn't think that the Faceless Woman would do anything against the law. She would only have more restrictions than himself, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to "disguise" herself as Dr. Lin to take the opportunity to get close to him.
But it is really not a comfortable thing to be remembered by such a person.
She can be a security guard in a shopping mall, a bus driver, or an old lady waiting for you to help her on the roadside.
You can also become the caring elder sister who calls you into the alley for tea.
As long as you have a network of relationships and as long as you still need to go out, she will be able to approach you, and you must always be prepared for sneak attacks from anyone around you.
Zhou Ze didn't understand what she wanted from him, but judging from the many examples of female ghosts in strange stories who liked to suck the yang energy of men to replenish themselves, the Faceless Woman might have the same purpose.
Or, does she want her own body
Or maybe, she wants her current temporary worker qualifications
Zhou Ze didn't know whether the little loli knew about this, but he was afraid that even if she knew, she would not really intervene, because it was very likely that the faceless woman was deliberately released by the little loli and her gang of ghosts to help do things.
The Faceless Woman did not attack herself directly, probably because she had other concerns. Of course, looking at Bai Yingying who was now so well-behaved, the Faceless Woman might also be afraid of her own nails.
When I first entered hell, the Faceless Woman wanted to keep me here, but she was injured by my own nails, allowing me to leave. Perhaps that experience really left a deep memory in her, forcing her to use the beauty trap to deal with me.
But there was one thing that made Zhou Ze a little sad.
Devil's saliva,
Ten times the impulse, a hundred times the impulse,
I was able to control myself.
Zhou Ze was not proud of his strong will.
There is only a faint and elusive sadness.
Sitting at the counter, flipping through some books casually, Zhou Ze also searched the Internet for information about the Faceless Woman to see if he could find any valuable information.
I didn't find any valuable information, but I did find Stephen Chow's "Forbidden City Cop".
Then Zhou Ze and Bai Yingying spent half an afternoon rewatching the movie.
There is a villain boss in it who has no face and can also transform into the appearance of other people.
After the movie, it was already evening, and Zhou Ze signaled Bai Yingying to open the shop door.
Bai Yingying hesitated a little and said, "Boss, aren't you afraid that she will come again?"
"Not doing business anymore?" Zhou Ze asked, "Or can you contribute some of your burial objects so I can exchange them for some money to help the store's funds?"
The female corpse curled her lips but still went to open the door.
She was rich. When Mrs. Bai was buried, she was a rich lady after all, so there should have been a lot of burial objects. In addition, Mrs. Bai stayed in the human world for two hundred years, so it was impossible for her to take those things into hell, so naturally they were left behind.
Zhou Ze had an idea after seeing how many bags Bai Yingying bought during the limited time she went out.
At first, Zhou Ze suspected that the female corpse had stolen money from the store to spend. Later, when Zhou Ze found that all the money in the store was not enough to buy her bags, he no longer doubted it.
Mrs. Bai originally wanted to pick up Xu Qinglang, who owned more than 20 houses, in a sedan chair carried by eight men.
Bai Yingying is obsessed with branded sachets.
This is definitely not good news for the singles in the world, as it means that even if you die and become a ghost, life will still be difficult.
Not long after the store opened, while Zhou Ze was making a cup of tea, a middle-aged man walked into the store.
Bai Yingying stood there, staring at the other person.
Zhou Ze also looked at the other party subconsciously. Although his mind told him that the Faceless Woman would not be so anxious to change her appearance, he still had to be on guard in his heart.
The middle-aged man was wearing a leather jacket that had turned white in many places. He was wearing a pair of leather shoes that were also somewhat old, and his pants were casual pants, which were not that shiny.
He was also wearing a tall hat on his head, which looked a little funny.
The middle-aged man walked to the bookshelf and rubbed his hands subconsciously, preparing to find a book to read. However, as he looked left and right, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he complained:
"Boss, all you have here are novels and other miscellaneous stuff. Don't you have any other books worth reading?"
“Here it is.”
Zhou Ze signaled Bai Yingying to move the box behind the counter.
Bai Yingying did as she was told.
The other party squatted down and continued to select books from the box. He flipped through several books in succession and found that the covers were all disgusting.
For example, Abin,
For example, the concierge,
For example, tangerine peel,
The middle-aged man was so angry that his fingers were shaking. He pushed the box forward.
"What are you going to do with these things?"
The middle-aged man was very angry. He stood up and pointed at Zhou Ze:
“Are all bookstore owners so shameless nowadays
Harboring filth and dirt,
A place of filth and dirt!"
Zhou Ze lit a cigarette, put one foot on the counter, and ignored the guy.
The middle-aged man turned around angrily and prepared to leave. When he reached the door of the store, he turned his head and saw some serious books on the small bookshelf at the door. He stopped and picked out Mr. Qian Mu's "Outline of Chinese History" from it, then sat down on a small stool and began to read.
Zhou Ze didn't pay any attention to him. His bookstore was a place that welcomed everyone, whether human or ghost. People who were neither human nor ghost could come. It was just that the current period was a little tense, so he needed to pay more attention to the movements of the faceless woman.
At this time, Zhou Ze's cell phone rang. He took out the phone and found that it was his sister-in-law calling.
"Hello." Zhou Ze listened to the phone carefully.
Last time, it was Dr. Lin’s WeChat, and this time, it was a call from my sister-in-law. I can’t guarantee that the Faceless Woman will use the half-PG routine again.
“Brother-in-law…” the sister-in-law said coquettishly on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Ze hung up the phone directly.
Have questions,
Very problematic!
When did my sister-in-law become so gentle
This is clearly the rhythm of actively offering half of the PG,
Just like the night Dr. Martha Latillien told her to wear stockings next time.
Zhou Ze didn’t think he had... No, Zhou Ze didn’t think “Xu Le’s face” had the ability to be a female killer.
The phone rang again, it was her number.
After thinking about it, I answered the phone:
"Hello."
"Xu Le, you bastard, how dare you hang up on me!"
Now the character is normal.
"What's the matter?" Zhou Ze responded coldly.
"My friend and I went to KFC to study, and my wallet was stolen. Do you have any money? Just give me 7,000 or 8,000 yuan to help me out."
Zhou Ze hung up the phone again.
Um,
It must be the faceless woman.
Even if she wasn't the Faceless Woman, when Zhou Ze heard "seven or eight thousand", he was sure that she was the Faceless Woman in disguise.
Yes,
That's it.
The phone rang again, and Zhou Ze was a little annoyed. The middle-aged man who was sitting there reading a book looked at Zhou Ze with a frown. Obviously, it was Zhou Ze's phone ringing again and again that disturbed him from reading.
"Sorry, I'm on mute." Zhou Ze said.
The other person lowered his head and continued reading.
However, the sister-in-law kept calling, so Zhou Ze had to answer the phone again.
"Xu Le, you can't just stand by and watch someone die. I can only ask you for the money. Can I lend it to you
Can I not tell my parents or my sister about the Maserati woman?"
"You better tell me."
“… … ”Sister-in-law.
Damn it, don't give up like this, you still have a chance to save yourself!
After paying various fees last time, he only had a few thousand yuan left in his pocket, which he gave to her, leaving him with nothing.
"Xu Le, please help me. I'm telling you the truth. I went to a disco with a girl, and both of our wallets were stolen. I can't let my parents and my sister know about this, or they'll scold me to death.
My sister has to pay for her painting class tomorrow, and she has put the tuition in her wallet before, so she can’t delay it.”
"Let her find her parents." Zhou Ze said.
"Her family is not well off, and the tuition fee was earned by her working part-time during the winter vacation. Her family won't agree to give her the money. Zhou Ze, consider it a loan from you. I'll pay you back when I get some pocket money next month."
Zhou Ze wanted to refuse.
At this moment,
The person on the phone said, "It's settled. We've got a taxi here. Luckily I still have some money in my WeChat account, so I can afford a taxi. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me."
The call was hung up and two girls walked over to the bookstore.
The two people should be classmates. They were dressed normally, but they obviously put on some makeup on purpose.
Girls of this age are like lotus flowers emerging from water. In fact, putting on makeup is a burden. But unfortunately, girls of this age do not understand this.
Zhou Ze stood up and walked over.
"Xu Le, brother-in-law, please help me." The sister-in-law began to act coquettishly to Zhou Ze.
The girl next to her seemed a little timid. She stood next to her sister-in-law, looking embarrassed and restrained.
Zhou Ze was thinking of reasons to refuse.
But at this moment,
The middle-aged man who was sitting there reading quietly suddenly stood up.
The breath started to become stronger.
The veins on his neck were exposed.
It feels like spring has come!
Zhou Ze put one hand directly on his shoulder and held the guy down.
At the same time, he said to Bai Yingying, "Take the money."
Bai Yingying took out five thousand yuan from behind the counter and handed it to Zhou Ze.
Zhou Ze took the money with one hand, then gave it to his sister-in-law, and said:
“You have to pay it back.”
"I know."
The sister-in-law who took the money looked at Bai Yingying and asked, "Who is she?"
"Shopkeeper, your sister knows him." Zhou Ze explained.
"Oh, okay."
The sister-in-law was too soft-hearted and pulled the female classmate next to her and left the bookstore.
The middle-aged man next to Zhou Ze was about to chase him, but Zhou Ze turned around and pressed his hands against the glass window.
If this guy hadn't suddenly gone crazy, how could Zhou Ze give out the money so readily
"Are you a dog that can't change its nature?" Zhou Ze said in a deep voice, "I was still hesitating, but now there is nothing to hesitate about. I'd better send you back to hell."
The middle-aged man was still struggling.
"You won't cry until you see the coffin, right?" Zhou Ze laughed in anger, pointing directly at the glass window in front of him and said, "Look at what kind of hat you are wearing on your head."
The middle-aged man looked at the glass window and saw his own "reflection".
In the reflection,
Wearing a tall hat,
There were four big black words written on the hat: "Beast in human clothing".
The middle-aged man was stunned.
The struggle stopped instantly.
He murmured:
"It's insulting... It's insulting..."
