“You think it makes sense too?”
In the next moment, the iced cola in Lawyer An’s hand was crushed. The flesh on his left hand faded and turned into a skeleton. He grabbed the two female corpses above his head.
To be honest, both Zhou Ze and Lawyer An did not notice anything strange until the two hanged female corpses smiled. They only compared this house to the other houses that they had searched before.
In any case, every house had people who hung themselves. However, when the two female corpses smiled, their instinct was not to scream hysterically, “Ghost!!!” Their first reaction was to attack directly!
If they were to act in a ghost movie, the audience’s sense of immersion would be very poor. Perhaps the two hanged female corpses just wanted to have a shocking effect. Human or ghost, they all had terrible interests and hobbies. The female ghosts’ plan failed when Lawyer An unhesitatingly attacked head-on.
However, when Lawyer An waved his bony hand, the two girls turned into blue light and dispersed in an instant.
Then, Zhou Ze, who was sitting there, felt a chill run down both sides of his body. A rope appeared in front of him and sliced towards him at an extremely fast speed.
Zhou Ze began to lean backward till his entire body slid down from where he was sitting. The rope was pulled over Zhou Ze’s head but missed.
After landing on the ground, Zhou Ze patted the ground with one hand and stood up sideways.
“Hehehe…” Laughter rang out again. This time it was above his head!
“Boss, be careful!” Lawyer An directly made a hand seal above him. “The Law of Death is merciless. Seal!”
Zhou Ze only felt the sound of air friction and explosion above his head. He did not look up because another blue light rushed over from in front of him.
“Crash!”
Ten black fingernails grew out. Zhou Ze directly waved them at the blue light in front of him.
“Rustle…”
His fingernails seemed to have been mixed into the fine sand. It was very soft. It was very delicate. The blue light disappeared.
Zhou Ze took a step back and lowered his arms. He observed his surroundings.
“Hiss…”
Without any warning, a piercing pain came. Zhou Ze lowered his head to take a look. There were black spots on his fingernails and hands. An extremely strong ache constantly stimulated his central nervous system.
How was this possible?
This was the first time Zhou Ze had encountered a demonic charm that was not afraid of his fingernails. It could even corrode his fingernails on its initiative!
“Hehehe…”
The laughter was very close. It was as if it was close to his earlobe.
There was a mirror in the living room. Zhou Ze raised his head to look at the mirror. There was a girl’s face behind him. The girl seemed to be perched on his shoulders. Her feet were stepping on his hands. She playfully moved her mouth to his ear as if a couple was whispering to each other.
“The Law of Death is merciless. Break!” Lawyer An struck Zhou Ze’s back without hesitation.
This was why Lawyer An was so considerate.
If Zhou Ze was accompanied by a veteran, he would only stand by the side with a piece of talisman as a cheerleader. If he was accompanied by Bai Yingying, she would only follow Zhou Ze’s instructions. If he had brought Xu Qinglang, he would be lucky if he did not lose his footing in the previous wave of attacks.
Only Lawyer An did not need you to say anything. He was useful as a sweet little cotton-padded jacket. He did not even need to pat his butt. He would be able to give you the posture you wanted with just a glance.
“Ah!!!”
Zhou Ze heard a scream coming from behind him.
Then, Zhou Ze crossed his hands. His ten nails were crossed and started to rub frantically. Countless sparks were emitted out from his nails.
This was like fighting poison with poison. It was like he was bitten by a mosquito and was trying hard to dig it out. Although he knew it was very wrong, it felt good!
It was indeed effective.
The blue light escaped from Zhou Ze’s body and escaped through the door. It was much weaker than before. Another blue light rushed up the stairs.
Zhou Ze and Lawyer An did not chase after them. In this strange village, actions that were too rash would often cause immeasurable consequences.
“Boss, are you alright?” Lawyer An asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Zhou Ze shook his head and continued, “What were those two just now? These ghosts didn’t seem like dead souls. You said they were zombies, right? Could zombies be so elusive?”
“I’m not too sure, but it felt like zombies.” Lawyer An hesitated for a moment and continued, “They were similar to the two black shadows that suddenly appeared during the Zhu Shengnan incident.”
The two black shadows that seemed to be patrol inspectors also drifted around like that. They didn’t seem to have a physical body, but they were extremely threatening.
“Boss, where exactly is Zhu Shengnan…”
“Zhu Shengnan is already dead. I sent her soul to Hell.” Zhou Ze was certain of this point.
“The matter of the two ghost escorts in the picture hasn’t been investigated yet.”
“Let’s leave this village first,” Zhou Ze said.
Lawyer An nodded.
They weren’t an expedition team. They didn’t have the spirit of great adventurers. To be more precise, they were two middle-aged men who had become greasy due to the erosion of time. They absolutely didn’t have any interest in this. They really couldn’t be bothered to do it.
Lawyer An went to the fridge and took out the last few bottles of iced cola. He also found some food and packed them in a bag. Then, he went out with Zhou Ze.
It was still so quiet in the village. Most of the people had already hanged themselves, so it was very quiet.
However, Zhou Ze and Lawyer An naturally did not dare to let down their guard. The two hanged girls might be watching the two of them from a corner.
Nothing happened until the two of them reached the village entrance.
“Could it be that they thought that we were difficult bones to chew on so they gave up?” Lawyer An said.
“These words don’t make people feel honored.” Just as he said that Zhou Ze stopped in his tracks.
Something seemed to be swaying in the thick fog at the entrance of the village. It seemed as if these things were going to run out of the fog.
Many hands of different colors had broken free from the shackles of the fog. They began to wave incessantly at Zhou Ze and Lawyer An. They advanced with purpose.
They slowly advanced and stopped at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, what appeared before Zhou Ze and Lawyer An’s eyes were densely packed hands that were three-story tall. Shrieking voices transmitted through the fog.
If Zhou Ze and Lawyer An insisted on leaving the village, they would probably have to enter the arms of these hands in the fog.
Zhou Ze and Lawyer An looked at each other. Both of them began to retreat in tacit understanding. This was an easy choice. Compared to the horror of walking out and being clawed at by countless hands, the two girls who just hung themselves were cuter.
Walking back to the village, the two men suddenly discovered that the tightly shut doors of the entire village were all open now. As they walked back, they couldn’t believe they were all open.
There were even some people. There was the fragrance of food wafting out of homes. It looked like they were having dinner.
They kept walking. There was a figure on the road. A few children huddled together like they were playing marbles. They still had a rope around their necks. The rope went up. The two men could not see the top of the rope.
Although the children were squatting on the ground playing with marbles, their faces were flat and their heads could not be lowered. They tried their best to look down in order to look at the marbles on the ground. The entire scene seemed very funny and very scary.
A woman came out to dry her clothes. A man came out to take a walk. The originally lifeless village suddenly became lively.
However, everyone had a rope hanging around their necks. No matter what they were doing, their faces were all flat.
Lawyer An took out another bottle of coke from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Ze. The two men looked like they were visiting a haunted house in an amusement park. They watched as they walked.
There wasn’t much interaction because there was no point in that. No one was in the mood to chat. The two men were ready to fight at any time.
However, the villagers didn’t pay attention to Zhou Ze and Lawyer An who were walking on the street. Everyone was minding their own business.
As they walked, Zhou Ze and Lawyer An stopped in their tracks.
The doors of every place were open, even the windows were open. However, there was a door in front of them that was tightly shut. There was a lock on top of it all. This seemed interesting compared to the openness of all the other houses.
Zhou Ze and Lawyer An walked over. This was not a small house. It was a tiny house. It was more like a toilet that had been set up in the countryside or a pigsty. The copper lock on the door was rusty. There was a big crack under it that even a child could not get into.
Zhou Ze and Lawyer An were not in a hurry to open the lock. Reacting rashly when they encountered something unusual in a ghost village could mean death.
They were curious.
Lawyer An turned to Zhou Ze with a look that meant, “You want to bend down to look inside?”
Zhou Ze responded to Lawyer An with a look that meant, “I’m the boss. You look.”
Lawyer An took a step back and raised his hand. It was very simple.
Rock, paper, scissors.
Yes, just like that, two big men in this gloomy ghost village played rock, paper, scissors.
“Scissors!”
“Paper!”
Lawyer An lost.
He took a deep breath and bent down. He moved his face closer to the small hole and looked inside. It was pitch black inside, so he couldn’t see anything clearly.
Lawyer An was about to get up and say that he couldn’t see anything, but Zhou Ze immediately handed him a flashlight.
“…” Lawyer An. “So thoughtful. Where did this flashlight come from?”
“I stole it from that family’s house,” Zhou Ze explained.
Lawyer An reluctantly bent down again. He turned on the flashlight.
Phew! It was clear. It was such a relief!
It felt so good until Lawyer An’s hair stood on end!
The faces of women were neatly arranged next to the door.
Lawyer An was looked at them. They looked at Ann.
