Midnight Bookstore

“Oh… Ah… hiss…” Zhou Ze felt that he was constantly wandering in the whirlpool. His consciousness was very muddled. He felt that he was like a dough. He was constantly kneaded and squeezed. It was as if there was a retard holding a mallet and constantly slapping him. It was as if he wanted to turn himself into a retard.

He did not know how long this situation lasted. Zhou Ze suddenly opened his eyes. He found himself lying on a cold iron plate. He was surrounded by cold colors.

It was familiar. It was not a hospital but it was similar to a hospital.

Zhou Ze silently sat up. When he sat up, he suddenly realized that he could sit up!

Ah Xi!

Could it be that every time he was tortured and beaten up, he could deepen his control over his body? Indeed, adversity can make people grow. So those peerless experts were all beaten up?

Zhou Ze reached out and touched his chest. He could even press down. God knows how many ribs were broken. His chest was all deflated.

Wait a moment. He looked around again. Zhou Ze finally understood where he was now. This was the forensic medicine room!

No wonder it felt very similar to the hospital.

“Phew…” He let out a long sigh. As long as he was not at the entrance of the incinerator. Finally, he did not have the fate of being roasted the moment he woke up.

That’s not right. Zhou Ze thought of something. He reached out his hand and touched his temple in disbelief. As expected, his finger touched a hole!

It was precisely the position of his temple!

“That female police officer, this marksmanship…”

Don’t think that all police officers were sharpshooters. Even sharpshooters would find it difficult to be accurate when shooting in an emergency.

“That woman shot my temple?”

Zhou Ze reached his finger into the bullet hole and touched it. It’s so deep.

No, what am I doing?

Zhou Ze put his hand down. He was digging the bullet hole in his head that had been shot. This might leave a very heavy psychological trauma after he returns to normal in the future.

Then he immediately felt relieved. His ashes had been stolen, and his ashes had been mixed with rice. The current situation didn’t seem to be a big deal when he thought about that.

Zhou Ze remembered that when he was in middle school, there was a classmate who liked to gouge the corn under his feet. Zhou Ze once saw it in class, and he felt disgusted.

It was a pity that the classmate couldn’t see his gouging action.

Just then, the door of the forensic medicine room was opened. It should be dark now, and he didn’t know if he had been in a coma for another day or two.

Zhou Ze was thinking whether he should lie down and continue to pretend to be a corpse. Otherwise, it would be his fault if he scared the police.

“Boss?” The person who came in was Old Zhang.

There was no need to pretend anymore. Zhou Ze heaved a long sigh of relief. Old Zhang walked in wearing a police uniform. When he saw Zhou Ze sitting up, he immediately approached him.

However, when his gaze stopped at the bullet hole on Zhou Ze’s head, the expression on his face subconsciously twitched.

He had seen a lot of dead people. Old Zhang had even personally shot and killed a suspect who stubbornly resisted and threatened a hostage’s safety. He was still able to sit up and sigh despite having a hole in his head.

This was the first time Old Zhang had seen this. He was a little flustered.

“Boss, what’s going on with you?” Old Zhang sat down by the steel bed. Ever since he saw Zhou Ze the night before, too many questions had accumulated in his heart.

He was on a business trip to Xuzhou to handle a case. Why was he able to see a zombie-like guy attacking him while walking with Officer Chen? The guy who attacked him was his own boss!

“It’s a long story. Where’s your phone? Let me make a call.” Zhou Ze spread out his hand.

“I’ve already contacted Yingying. They’re still in the mountain area of the neighboring province. They should be able to rush over by dawn.”

“Oh, that’s good.” Zhou Ze habitually reached out to touch the bullet hole on his head. His hands were itchy. He couldn’t help it.

It was like a strange thing growing out of your body. You couldn’t help but keep touching it to see if it made sense.

“This matter has been suppressed. A corpse moving in the middle of the night. This is too shocking. Fortunately, Officer Chen made a prompt decision and didn’t let this matter spread to society.”

When the police were handling cases, they often walked along the river. How could they not wet their shoes? They would occasionally encounter some unbelievable things.

If you were familiar with old police officers, they could tell you two or three extremely terrifying cases. However, most of them were blocked by publicity because some of the details of the cases would cause public panic if they were revealed.

Zhou Ze’s matter this time should also be blocked. The police would probably be shocked after the autopsy. This body should have been dead for more than a week.

“Officer Chen?” Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. He pointed at his head and said, “I was wondering why it looked so familiar. Was she the one who shot my head?”

“En…” Old Zhang was a little ashamed. It was an emergency at that time in Old Zhang’s opinion. Officer Chen shot him to save him.

“That crazy woman… Even if it’s a corpse, you can’t just shoot like that. This is a crime of destroying a corpse!”

“At that time, boss almost killed me, so she…”

“No, why are you defending her? Is she your boss or am I your boss?”

“She’s my boss.”

“…” Zhou Ze.

“Oh, I get it. Old Zhang, you slept with her, right?”

Old Zhang’s face immediately turned a little red. He hurriedly said, “No, no.”

Zhou Ze stretched out his hand and patted Old Zhang’s shoulder. He said earnestly, “Old Zhang, this is a very serious philosophical question about who cheated on whom. Have you thought about it?”

“…” Old Zhang.

“You haven’t thought about it yet, have you? You need to think about this question carefully. It’s very important, understand?”

Old Zhang’s face turned bitter.

Zhou Ze lowered his head and suddenly realized that there was a big “X” mark on his chest.

“Have I been autopsied?”

“Yes, boss. I couldn’t stop that. Besides, I wasn’t sure if you were still in this body. I came here tonight to secretly take a look. I didn’t know you could still wake up. I don’t understand a lot of things about you.”

“Tsk Tsk.” Zhou Ze got off the bed. He wasn’t standing very steadily. He was a little crooked. It took him a lot of effort to control his body but he still stood still.

Old Zhang immediately helped to support him. He looked like a eunuch waiting on Old Buddha.

“My body is like this, but I can still move. Are you surprised?”

“Yes, I’m surprised,” Zhang Yanfeng replied.

“I’m also very surprised. I feel like I’m driving an old car that could fall apart at any time.”

Zhou Ze suddenly felt a little weak. His body began to fall backward. Fortunately, Old Zhang supported him and did not let Zhou Ze fall.

“Boss, what’s wrong?”

“I seem to be a little hungry.” Zhou Ze said.

How long has it been since he ate? The last time he ate, he seemed to have cooked a meal with Lawyer An in the kitchen of the villagers in the abduction village.

“Boss, your stomach has been cut out. The residue in your stomach has been taken to be tested.”

“I’m still hungry.” Zhou Ze was barely supported by Old Zhang to sit back on the steel bed.

“How about this, Old Zhang? Move your neck closer and let me suck a few mouthfuls of blood. I think I can recover some strength.”

“…” Old Zhang.

“You can’t be so stingy. Look at how your boss has become. His head has been drilled. What’s wrong with sucking two mouthfuls of your blood?”

“This… Okay.” Old Zhang was an honest man after all. He moved his neck closer.

Zhou Ze didn’t stand on ceremony. He opened his mouth to bite down.

“Hiss…” Old Zhang was in pain.

“Hiss…” Old Zhou felt good.

For the first time, Zhou Ze realized that blood was so delicious. It was as if he was drinking soup with tonic. When a mouthful of blood entered his stomach, he felt warm there.

Zhou Ze didn’t feel like sucking too much either. After sucking Old Zhang dry, Old Zhang wouldn’t be able to play anymore. He immediately let go. He wiped his mouth reluctantly.

Old Zhang took out a tissue and pressed it on the wound on his neck. It was a little painful, but there was no special situation.

“It’s just a few mouthfuls of blood. It’s fine. Maybe you have some benefits.” Zhou Ze comforted him.

“Benefits?”

“Yeah, did you see the death attendant in our shop? He’s…”

Old Zhang’s expression changed. The death attendant’s silly look appeared in his mind.

“No, that’s not an appropriate example. We’ll see when the time comes. My body is not my own body now, so it might not have any effect. I’m not sure if zombies can sire like vampires or something.”

“When I have the chance, I’ll discuss with that person and see if I can do something. Once it’s done, Old Zhang, your seniority will be very scary. Those thousand-year-old zombie kings will have to call you their ancestor.”

As a leader, you can not do practical things. You can be blind. You can be black-hearted. You definitely can’t know how to draw a big cake. Anyway, drawing a big cake is free.

“By the way, there’s one more thing. Go and check the autopsy report of my body later.”

“Autopsy report?”

“Yes, I’m worried that the guy I’m possessing might be sick with AIDS or something. Of course, the probability is too low. It’s impossible. Don’t worry.”

“…” Old Zhang.

“Call Yingying and the others again and urge them to come. I can’t stand this body anymore.” Zhou Ze urged.

“Oh, okay.” Old Zhang picked up his phone. He was about to make a call.

Suddenly, a young and immature voice came from the quiet corridor outside the forensic medicine room.

“Uncle, did you miss me? I came to see you!”
