Midnight Bookstore Chapter 339 – They Came From The Bridge Of Helplessness

It was said that the bridge of helplessness was connected to the previous life and the afterlife of living beings. At this moment, the shadow of a bridge of helplessness had already appeared in front of Zhou Ze.

The Ghost Falcon kowtowed to the bridge, trembling with fear. There was a fawning expression on its face, as if it had long known that the bridge of helplessness would appear here.

Zhou Ze, on the other hand, silently watched everything. It was obvious that the bridge of helplessness in front of him came from h.e.l.l, and it was even connected to the eyes from h.e.l.l.

And because of that..,

the consciousness in his body began to play dead,

it did not dare to reveal its aura,

it was to prevent the big bosses from h.e.l.l from discovering it.

In other words..,

this was the only explanation.

“Crack… crack…”

The sound of something breaking could be heard,

a glaring crack appeared at the bridge pier. Soon after, the crack began to spread and gradually covered the entire bridge.

At this moment, the entire bridge of helplessness was like an exquisite porcelain that was on the verge of collapse.

The Ghost Falcon kept kowtowing. It was a pity that it did not have a physical body. Otherwise, it would definitely be able to knock its forehead until it bled to show its sincerity.

“Bang!”

A crisp sound of an explosion rang out,

the shadow of the bridge of helplessness turned into fragments and began to drift away,

along with it was the white fog that had originally surrounded the surroundings.

Everything had come and gone in a hurry. The surroundings returned to silence as if nothing had happened.

However, Zhou Ze did not think that what he had just seen was an illusion.

Although the bridge of helplessness had disappeared, the ghost falcon continued to prostrate and kowtow, and it was even more respectful than before.

“Hiss hiss… Hiss Hiss Hiss…”

Zhou ze suddenly realized that something had appeared in the mud in the flowerbed in front of him. As if something was pus.h.i.+ng out from inside, a small bag was pushed out, and it was still pus.h.i.+ng up.

The ghost falcon continued to kneel towards the mound that was being propped up. Its three tails kept shaking, and each tail had a soul wrapped around it.

“Pa!”

The mud fell, and a hand reached out from there. It was a hand covered in mud, and it was bony. The hand slowly pressed down on the ground, and it slapped hard!

“Bang!”

The ground seemed to tremble a few times,

the surrounding mud splashed out,

scorching white smoke rose,

after the white smoke dissipated,

what was revealed on the spot,

was the figure of a woman.

The woman's legs were crossed together,

she was barely able to control her balance,

she was wearing a short skirt and black short sleeves, but they were all tattered and dirty. She was barefoot, and her hair was frozen together.

The most eye-catching thing was the woman's eyes. There was a strange emerald green flowing in her sunken eye sockets.

It was difficult to describe this woman as beautiful or not beautiful, because this woman had almost become a half-dried corpse. It was obvious that this corpse had been buried underground for a while.

Zhou ze stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

In his heart..,

suddenly, he felt a throb,

hMM?

Did It finally respond to him?

The bridge of helplessness had disappeared,

the connection between h.e.l.l and the world of the living had also ended here,

so..,

the consciousness in his body finally paid attention to him.

Zhou Ze wished he could give him the middle finger now,

usually, when he came out, he would always look like he was invincible in the world,

he would always act as if he was the Yellow Emperor and the Netherworld Sea,

however, he was terrified just now because he might reveal his ident.i.ty.

The river flows east for thirty years, and the river flows west for thirty years,

the Lord of Mount Tai Prefecture and the mountain moving ape were also the Giants of h.e.l.l in the past. Now, they were all gone.

Something must have happened to the one in his body that led to the current situation. Sometimes, he had no choice but to tuck his tail between his legs and hide in a dark corner to lick his wounds.

The Phantom of the bridge of helplessness just now was more like a pa.s.sageway. At least in that instant, it connected h.e.l.l and the world of the living. It was as if a soul had been sent out of h.e.l.l and at the same time, disappeared into the female corpse underground.

It was quite grand and quite official,

zhou ze remembered that when he had walked out of h.e.l.l muddleheaded,

he didn't have this kind of treatment.

At this time, boss Zhou was thinking about whether or not he should quickly give old Zhang a call,

there was actually a corpse buried under this residential garden,

there must have been a murder.

But then he remembered,

old Zhang had already been glorified,

his soul was still circling around the tail of that Ghost Falcon,

making a phone call my a.s.s.

“You Are… a local… ghost errand boy?”

The woman pointed at Zhou Ze and asked.

In her words..,

there was a kind of dominance that belonged to a superior, as if she didn't care about Zhou Ze at all.

Zhou ze nodded his head.

“I came from the bridge of helplessness. Under the orders of the bridge of helplessness, I appeared in the world of the living to investigate something.”

As she spoke, the woman drew a line in front of her,

a rune appeared and flew in front of Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze looked at the rune very seriously,

he nodded from time to time,

he made a “HMM”sound.

Alright,

actually..,

boss Zhou couldn't understand this thing at all.

If the Little Loli was here, she should be able to understand it. After all, she was born in a science cla.s.s, and boss Zhou was a transfer student who used the backdoor. There was indeed a big gap in knowledge base.

But presumably, the fake certificate business was not strong enough to run from the world of the living to h.e.l.l to open a branch company. In addition, the other party also showed it to her so openly,

it should be..,

true, right?

The rune disappeared, and the other party's body slightly trembled. She glanced at her dirty body with some dissatisfaction, and then reached out her hand to her back.

“Pu!”

Something was pulled out by her,

she took it to the front and looked,

it was actually a pair of rusty scissors with blood stains on it.

“Pa!”

The scissors were casually thrown to the ground,

this should be the murder weapon, right?

The murder weapon that killed the owner of this corpse?

The woman bent down again,

she began to retch continuously.

A ma.s.s of black stuff was vomited out,

it was probably the remnants of food in his stomach,

at this time, these things were emitting a stench that normal people could not imagine.

Zhou Ze knew that the remnants of food left in the stomach after death were often the favorite of forensic doctors. Forensic doctors thought that this was the most beautiful taste that nature had given them.

Because the forensic doctors could deduce the time of death and many other useful information from these.

After vomiting,

the lower half of the woman's body was still swaying non-stop,

she stared at her own body somewhat angrily,

then, she raised her head,

she looked at Zhou Ze:

“This body is really terrible.”

As she spoke,

the woman reached out her hand,

the Ghost Falcon immediately threw over a soul on its tail,

the woman caught it in her hand,

then, she raised her head and swallowed it. Then, she let out a long sigh of relief, as if she was much more comfortable. Her originally shriveled body seemed to have become more filled than before, and there was a little bit of life on her face.

Zhou Ze had seen many things like swallowing souls to replenish himself. Back then, the dead soul of the official in the Confucian temple had done the same thing. Moreover, every time the person in his body came out, he would devour the opponent's dead soul whenever he had the chance.

Fortunately, this was not old Zhang's soul. Three different dead souls were wrapped around the three tails of the Ghost Falcon.

Then..,

the Ghost Falcon took another soul and prepared to throw it to the woman.

This was..,

old Zhang's soul!

“This is my friend.”

Zhou Ze pointed at the soul in the Ghost Falcon's hand and said.

The woman's eyes narrowed. “Your Friend's Soul?”

The Ghost Falcon was somewhat hesitant. It did not know if it should continue to hand this soul to the woman. It seemed that the woman had the intention of compromising for Zhou Ze's sake.

After all..,

in the eyes of a low-level undead creature like the Ghost Falcon..,

zhou Ze and the woman in front of him..,

were both people from the yamen, existences that he couldn't afford to provoke.

However..,

the woman's next sentence was very unbridled and arrogant. She said:

“Since it's your friend's, then it should be even more delicious!”

Zhou Ze's pupils suddenly constricted,

just as the Ghost Falcon threw the departed spirit out..,

the Black Fog on Zhou Ze's ten fingers instantly activated, intercepting old Zhang's departed spirit midway before bringing it back to his side.

Old Zhang's departed spirit was already very weak, and it was still in a state of constant weakness. If this continued, old Zhang's soul might completely dissipate, much less be reincarnated.

He wanted to save him. If he saved him in the end, this outcome would not be what Zhou Ze wanted to see.

The woman stared at Zhou Ze coldly. “You dare to go against the will of the bridge of helplessness?”

“I'm the Ghost Messenger of the Yin Department, not someone from the bridge of helplessness. You use that rune to indicate your ident.i.ty, but you don't have the right to command me.”

Zhou ze said very seriously.

Yes..,

if the Yin department was compared to the ancient imperial court, then the bridge of helplessness and other places were equivalent to the ancient va.s.sal towns or va.s.sal kings with fiefdoms.

Yin Si nominally had authority over these places, but they actually each had their own sphere of influence.

This was what the Little Loli had once said to Zhou Ze.

And because of this..,

zhou Ze, as an official of the imperial court, Cough Cough..,

indeed, he did not need to be restrained by the bridge of helplessness.

But when ordinary ghost messengers faced the existence of the bridge of helplessness, they probably would not be able to rush to the ground in time to lick it, regardless of whether it was legal or not.

“You… are very good.”

The woman pointed at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze was prepared to counterattack at any time, but the woman did not attack him. Instead, she chose to take the initiative to walk towards the Ghost Falcon.

She seemed to have some misgivings, but it also seemed like she needed Zhou Ze's help to complete her mission, so she did not choose to shed all pretense of cordiality with Zhou Ze.

The Ghost Falcon handed over the third dead soul,

the woman picked up the dead soul and swallowed it.

For a moment..,

a look of enjoyment appeared on her face,

her body began to become plump, and the original dried corpse image no longer existed.

The Ghost Falcon looked at the woman with a fawning expression, like a lapdog waiting for its master's praise.

However..,

the woman suddenly reached out and grabbed the ghost falcon, lifted it up, and opened her mouth,

she forcefully stuffed the struggling ghost falcon into her small mouth and made a chewing motion before swallowing it somewhat dry and hard.

For a moment..,

the woman's skin began to regain its moisture, elasticity, and l.u.s.ter,

even her lips were suffused with waves of seductive red,

she was no different from a living person..,

anymore.

“Phew… I told you to prepare three departed souls for me to enjoy

Now that one is missing,

i can only use you to make up for it.”

The woman smiled as she said this while poking her little finger into the s.p.a.ce between her teeth,

she made a gesture of picking her teeth,

then,

“BURP…”

She made a burp,

a loud burp.
