Chapter 286: Two-Faced Man

Boss Zhou now had the feeling that he was living in Strange Tales from a lonely studio,

because in the story of a lonely studio, all kinds of female ghosts, foxes, and even female corpses would appear out of nowhere, fall in love with a scholar, and then give birth to all kinds of inexplicable results.

Boss Zhou was not the scholar in the story, but he was still confused,

what on Earth was going on?

He had just sent off Lao Dao and Zhang Yanfeng,

he sat on the sofa and waited for Bai Yingying to deliver the woman’s works.

As for whether he could find any important clues tonight or find the truth about the death of the female writer, Zhou Ze did not know. Everything was up to fate.

However, he wanted to ask Yingying to buy some red wine and some vegetables later,

he sat leisurely on the second floor of the villa, drinking wine and enjoying the breeze,

yingying massaged his shoulders beside him,

he enjoyed the corrupt life of a landlord before liberation.

Although this was a haunted house, or even a haunted house, boss Zhou himself was a ghost, and Yingying was also a zombie,

entering a haunted house..,

was really as intimate as returning to his own home,

it was just like those hooligans on the streets entering a detention center.

But..,

things had developed in a strange arc,

oh No..,

it was a parabola!

First of all..,

who Was this woman?

At first, Zhou Ze thought it was a coincidence, but now he could conclude that this was definitely not some godforsaken coincidence.

At first, her behavior was still normal, but now, even though he had almost peeled off the skin on her back, she still continued to forcefully hug him and dance?

Coincidence?

F * cking coincidence!

“My back is so cold.”

The female writer moved her lips to Zhou Ze’s ear and whispered softly, like a whiny girlfriend whispering to him.

Zhou ze only felt that the world had lost its logic at this moment,

at this moment..,

he had had enough,

he had really had enough.

I don’t care if you are a human or a ghost, I don’t care what you are..,

i’ll break your neck!

Zhou Ze’s nails grew longer again, turning into a sickle-like shape. He mercilessly stabbed at the woman’s neck!

“PFFT…”

At first, it was the sound of metal piercing into flesh,

but then, it was like an erhu playing a cutting tune.

Zhou Ze felt that he was holding a saw and cutting steel bars. He didn’t know if he had a grudge against the saw or if he was competing with himself.

His nails pierced through the woman’s neck. Zhou ze kept stabbing back and forth,

however, the woman was still dancing with Zhou Ze. She was immersed in it and could not extricate herself. It was like a ritual before a feast, sacred and indispensable.

Even the heavens pitied her. Boss Zhou swore that even though he had had a very miserable time in the past, he had never been so embarrassed as he was now.

This woman was simply a freak. She was impervious to oil and salt. Even his nails were nothing special to her.

The dance steps began to speed up, and the rhythm began to pick up, as if it was entering the end.

The claws of Zhou Ze’s other hand also pierced into the woman’s neck. The two pairs of nails on both hands were like two saws, deeply embedded into the woman’s body.

Boss Zhou was not from a butcher’s family, but the flesh and skin of the woman’s upper body had been crisscrossed back and forth. There was really not much left. Most of the bones were directly exposed.

The bones were very white and smooth. Even nails as sharp as Zhou Ze’s could not leave too many marks on them.

“Hu…”

The woman’s hands tightly strangled Zhou Ze.

“Darling, let’s eat.”

After the dance,

dinner!

“Bang!”

Zhou Ze was carried into the kitchen and then pushed onto the sink. Usually, this position was very common in some small movies, but at this time, the roles of the male and female protagonists were slightly reversed.

The woman picked up the kitchen knife beside her,

zhou Ze’s pupils narrowed,

he knew,

when the woman really put the kitchen knife into his body, it would really be too late.

“Roar!”

A low roar,

came from the depths of Zhou Ze’s throat,

another consciousness was slowly awakening,

then..,

zhou Ze’s skin began to shrivel, his eye circles were slowly sunken, and his two fangs were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In an instant..,

zhou Ze, who had greatly increased his strength, suddenly pulled out his fingernails and forcefully broke free from the woman’s restraints. Meanwhile, the kitchen knife in the woman’s hand cut through the air.

Zhou Ze came down from the dishwasher and looked at the woman who was half human skin and half white bones.

“It’s time to eat.”

The woman muttered in a low voice, as if she did not notice what had happened to the man in front of her.

Zhou Ze took a step forward,

then, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

Something’s not right..,

something’s very wrong..,

zhou ze looked at his hand,

this awakening..,

why was he the one taking the lead?

It couldn’t be that the consciousness gave up the initiative and gave its power to him.

Impossible..,

this was impossible!

When the consciousness had awakened in the past, Zhou Ze could only retreat behind the scenes and watch the person who had slaughtered his way out of the danger in front of him go back after eating and drinking. Then, Zhou Ze would come out again.

But this time..,

zhou Ze realized that he had clearly awakened that consciousness, but why was he still the “Driver”?

“Come, let’s Eat!”

The woman pounced on him again.

Zhou Ze didn’t have time to think about anything else. He took the initiative to rush over. Every time that consciousness awakened and turned him into a zombie, any problems in front of him seemed to no longer be a problem.

Because of this, Zhou Ze had an extremely strong confidence in this state.

However..,

when both sides collided..,

zhou Ze’s entire body actually flew backwards and smashed heavily onto the kitchen tiles. Several bloody scars appeared on his chest.

How was this possible?

What was going on?

The woman only staggered back a few steps before she charged forward again in high spirits.

Zhou Ze stood up. This time, he did not dare to fight back. Instead, he chose to retreat. However, the woman was too fast. Even though Zhou Ze had clearly dodged, the kitchen knife in her hands, which were only left with white bones, still struck Zhou Ze’s arm.

“Hiss…”

Zhou ze sucked in a breath of cold air,

his arm had actually been cut open at this moment, and fresh blood was flowing out.

At the same time..,

the fangs in his mouth were slowly retracting, and his skin, which had been shriveled not long ago, was once again relaxing.

“What are you doing?”

Zhou ze could not help but mutter to himself,

this was indeed muttering to himself.

But no one answered him,

that consciousness seemed to have left his body,

was he on a business trip?

Was He on vacation?

“It’s time to eat!”

The woman with the kitchen knife came over again. Zhou ze flipped over the table in front of him and slowed down her movements. Then, he rushed out of the kitchen, turned around, and entered the bathroom. Then, he locked the bathroom door.

The bathroom was still filled with a stench, but Zhou Ze could not care less. In a life-threatening situation, being obsessed with cleanliness was not unbearable!

One could even shout, “It smells so good!”

“Ka-cha!”

The bathroom door was pierced through by a skeletal hand. Zhou ze turned around and saw that the old Taoist’s talisman was still on the toilet lid. Without hesitation, he took it off,

he stuck it on the door.

The talisman began to burn,

the skeletal hand turned red,

it even emitted a fragrance similar to “Sweet and sour pork ribs”,

then, it abruptly retracted.

The woman did not dare to destroy the door again, at least for a short period of time. She only lowered her head and put her eye socket near the crack that she had just broken. She stared at Zhou Ze who was inside:

“Hehe, wait… Let’s eat.”

Zhou ze glanced at the talisman paper,

he realized that one-third of the talisman paper had already been burned.

Damn it..

What the hell was going on!

Zhou ze turned his face and looked at the mirror in the bathroom.

At this moment..,

he was shocked to find that he was roaring and struggling in the mirror.

“You Are…”Zhou Ze immediately came to his senses. “Why did you go in there!”

Zhou Ze was roaring desperately in the mirror,

zhou Ze couldn’t hear the sound,

but maybe..,

maybe..,

maybe..,

almost..,

he could guess..,

that he was scolding someone?

Zhou Ze’s anger also rose at once,

damn it,

you ran away without saying goodbye, causing me to not even be able to open the door,

you still have the nerve to scold someone?

As if sensing what Zhou Ze was thinking,

the struggling and roaring person in the mirror became even more intense,

he reckoned that if he could come out at this time,

he would even want to tear his own heart into pieces.

..

“We’re here. This is the place.”The driver stopped the car. “Little girl, my car can’t get into this residential area. You can walk in from there.”

“Okay, master. You can settle the bill.”

Bai Yingying got out of the car. After a few steps, the driver called her from behind:

“Hey, Little Sister, you still have one book left.”

Bai Yingying immediately ran back. The driver reached under the seat and took out a book with difficulty.

It should have been thrown off when the car slammed on the brakes. Bai Yingying did not notice it and missed this book.

“Hey, ‘two-faced man’. Ghost stories, right? Little Girl, aren’t you afraid of having nightmares when you read this?”

The driver teased honestly.

If this driver knew that he was trying to persuade a zombie to watch less ghost stories and not have nightmares, who knew how he would feel.

“I brought it for someone. Thank you, sir.”

“Actually, I also quite like reading ghost stories, but I don’t dare to read them when I’m driving at night. Let me take a look at this introduction.”

There were two consciousnesses in a person’s body,

they originally lived in the same body. There were conflicts, quarrels, wariness, and unease,

but one day, after one of their consciousnesses was locked in the mirror,

the other..,

began to not get used to this kind of independent life that they originally desired,

they even began to actively seek out the other self that was locked in the mirror

“… the other self…”

The driver smacked his lips:

“Hehe, isn’t this schizophrenia?”

“It sounds so mystical. Nowadays, this novel is getting more and more gimmicky. It’s actually not as interesting as the wuxia novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long that we read when we were young.”

As he spoke, the chauffeur handed the book to Bai Yingying,

“Let’s Go!”

“Goodbye, chauffeur.”
