Midnight Bookstore
Chapter 67
“She’s sent to the gynecology department.”
Zhou Ze sat down beside Doctor Lin. He looked at her uncomfortable face and said,
“You should rest more, or else you will be irresponsible.”
“I can handle it.” Doctor Lin shook his head stubbornly.
“What I mean is that you’re being irresponsible to your patients.”
“…” Doctor Lin.
“Haha.” Zhou Ze licked his lips and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. Unknowingly, I’ve become my old self again.”
“Pretty good,” Doctor Lin said softly.
“Go back and rest. Come back to work after you’ve recovered. A doctor’s job is indeed important, but it’s not to the extent that the society will stop working if there’s one less doctor.”
Doctor Lin nodded.
At that moment, Zhou Ze’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. It was Xu Qinglang.
He stood up and walked to the corridor outside to answer the call.
“Hey, what’s up?”
“Your family’s business is pretty good today. Come back and take a look,” Xu Qinglang said with a yawn.
“Business is good?” Zhou Ze was a little happy. He had just gotten his certificate, and the results were already coming to him?
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”
Zhou Ze planned to send these guys to hell regardless of how many stories the dead souls in the bookstore told.
They were dead souls.
Sending him to hell was the right path. He was impartial and had no psychological burden.
“If you have something on, you can go back first.” Doctor Lin pointed at his office. “I’ll go back myself later.”
Zhou Ze nodded and did not say anything else. Right now, nothing was more important than him becoming a permanent employee. As for his relationship with Doctor Lin, he would take his time.
Even at night, the elevator in the emergency building was still full. Zhou Ze chose to walk down the stairs. When he reached the third floor, he suddenly stopped.
For some reason, he felt like someone was following him.
Could it be that Doctor Lin wanted to take a few more glances at me but was too embarrassed to do so, so he was secretly following me?
Alright, although that was possible, Zhou Ze was not so narcissistic that he would believe it. He quickly walked down to the first floor and turned around the corner to head back.
“Hu…”
A gust of wind blew past.
Zhou Ze suddenly raised his head and started running up, but he still didn’t find anything.
If he did not discover anything, it meant that something was definitely wrong.
Zhou Ze bent down, his black fingernails growing out of his index finger as he tapped lightly on the tile floor.
The next moment, a black footprint appeared on the tile floor. Zhou Ze silently clenched his index finger into a fist and slowly got up, walking in the direction of the black footprint.
On his fingernails, there was smoke that could not be seen by the naked eye that chased after the imprint.
Due to its uniqueness, the hospital could not be completely clean. However, it was not the middle of the night yet, so it was not normal for something to walk around so openly.
Following the marking, Zhou Ze arrived at the fourth floor. The footprints led him to a room.
There were patients in the room, and with the current situation, it was very rare for an empty room to appear. For example, right now, some of the patients could only lie on the simple bed in the corridor to rest or get an IV drip.
Zhou Ze pushed the door open.
There were three beds inside.
There were old people lying on both sides of the bed, and they were all old ladies. In the middle was a young woman, and beside each bed was a caretaker.
When Zhou Ze walked in, other than the old woman who was sleeping, everyone’s eyes were on him.
“Hello, sorry to disturb you. Did anyone come in just now?”
Zhou Ze went straight to the point.
“No.”
A nurse answered.
The others also shook their heads.
Zhou Ze nodded, indicating that he understood, then turned and left the ward.
Zhou Ze was about to leave.
You can’t blame Zhou Ze for being unethical. He didn’t even catch ghosts when he met them. You have to know that Xu Qinglang had just called and said that his shop was doing very well. Zhou Ze was worried that if he went back late and all the customers left, the loss would be huge.
As for the dirty things that were running around outside, he would deal with them if he could. If they were difficult to deal with or if he had to play hide-and-seek with him, Zhou Ze really did not want to spend too much energy on them.
He was a ghost, and there was a ‘temporary’ prefix before him. He was not Zhang Tianshi.
However, when Zhou Ze was about to close the door, his nails accidentally touched the door.
In that instant, Zhou Ze felt like he was electrocuted. Then, the lights in the ward went out, and the lights returned.
The three beds in the room instantly became empty, and the patient and the nurse disappeared.
Zhou Ze suddenly took two steps back. Only then did he see that the sign on the door of the room he was facing had the word “utility room” on it. This was not a ward!
“Hu…”
Another gust of wind blew, and it was very fast. It seemed to realize that its camouflage had failed, and it planned to escape in a panic.
Zhou Ze reached out and grabbed it. It was as if he had grabbed onto something cold and meaty. However, following that was a crisp sound. That thing had escaped his control.
The wind dispersed.
Zhou Ze looked at his palm. There was a tuft of black hair. It was very long and twisted.
As if out of professional habit, Zhou Ze placed his hand in front of his nose and sniffed.
There was a thick, fishy smell of the sea.
It was nauseating.
It smelled like a salted fish that had been stored in a hot warehouse for a month.
“Hiss…”
Zhou Ze suppressed his urge to retch and squatted down again. He tapped his nails on the tile, and a series of clear black footprints appeared.
Clapping his hands, Zhou Ze tilted his neck and followed the footprints.
The nature of the situation had changed once again. If the other party was just like the old woman who had been lingering in the mortuary because of her family assets, Zhou Ze would not pursue her. After all, there were too many ghosts who stayed in the human world because of their past ties. Furthermore, they usually did not have the mood to do bad things and did not have the ability to cause any destruction.
However, not only did the thing that he had just come into contact with follow him, it had even managed to create an incredibly realistic illusion to trick him. Furthermore, from the hair that had been pulled from its body, it appeared to have a physical body.
This meant that the other party already had the ability to cause trouble, and it was in the hospital where his wife was. If Zhou Ze wanted to stand by and do nothing now, it would be hard to convince himself.
In the end,
Still cheap!
In the past few months, Zhou Ze had been reading quite a few novels in the bookstore. The thing he hated the most was the kind of female protagonist who did not have any sense of immersion. However, when it was his turn, he realized that he could not completely let go.
Of course, there was another important reason, and that was that he had just become a Phantom Servant. According to the conversation between the loli and him, if there were any dirty things stirring up trouble in the territory of a Phantom Servant, then the Phantom Servant would end up dead.
The footprints went upstairs. Zhou Ze followed the footprints all the way to the eighth floor. This was the operating room floor. After he took the stairs, Zhou Ze found his target without much effort.
“You’re a ghost soldier, so I don’t want to offend you, but why are you chasing me? We can mind our own business.”
The other party’s voice was slightly hoarse like an old man speaking, but his tone was weird. He often spoke at an extremely fast speed.
“What are you doing?” Zhou Ze pointed at it.
“I’m waiting for my woman to come out,” the man replied. “She’s a high ranking official, so you should go back. It’s not good for anyone to fall out with her. I can promise you that I won’t do anything outrageous and won’t make things difficult for you.”
“With the Heavenly Dao above, I wouldn’t dare to do anything reckless.”
“Your woman? Who are you waiting for?” Zhou Ze asked.
Could it be another ghost story?
However, at that moment, on the other side of the corridor, the young girl who had accompanied her sister-in-law earlier ran out with all kinds of receipts. She had probably gone to pay the bills.
Inside,
It was the pregnant woman who was about to give birth!
“You’re not his husband,” Zhou Ze scolded.
“The woman I’ve taken a fancy to is my woman. Plus, we have an ill-fated relationship that needs to be continued. This is something that even God has acquiesced to.” The man’s tone was impatient.
Initially, Zhou Ze was the one doing the checkup for the pregnant woman. Zhou Ze had thought that he had been cheated on again. He had even lamented that he had encountered a similar problem.
His childhood friend was already having this problem.
Now, he even encountered such a problem when he was visiting a patient in the hospital.
He seemed to have encountered such environmental issues everywhere recently.
He had the urge to change his bookstore’s name to “The Green Room”.
Respond to the call for national protection.
Thankfully, this time, it was no longer that simple and melodramatic color. However, it seemed to be more troublesome than the simple color.
“Two lives in one body,” Zhou Ze reminded her as he took two steps forward. “If the surgery doesn’t succeed now, it’ll be two lives in one body, and you still say you’re not doing something outrageous.”
“You idiot, have you eaten a bear’s heart and leopard’s gall!?”
The other party seemed to be unable to hold back his anger.
He turned around.
It was wearing a doctor’s white coat. Previously, there was nothing special about its back, but when it turned around, the scary and scary image appeared.
It was a monkey.
A monkey that could stand in human form.
Most of its body had rotted away, and even its skull was empty.
“You’re nothing but a little brat at the bottom of the netherworld. Don’t push your luck!”
“Then what are you?” Zhou Ze asked and took a few steps forward.
Squeak squeak squeak!
The monkey bared its teeth and let out a low growl. The black tail on its back suddenly stood up and pierced into the tiles.
The next moment…
Around where Zhou Ze stood, the ceiling, the tiles, and the walls had black holes.
Long tails appeared from the small cave and started to swarm towards Zhou Ze.
These tails carried an extremely foul smell, and sticky liquid dripped down. Zhou Ze, who had always been a clean freak, felt like he was standing in the area with the most intense smell in the seafood market.
Most importantly,
This scene…
He used to be in many movies.
Then…
Zhou Ze spread his arms wide, and his black nails grew out completely. A black glow flowed out from the depths of his eyes.
To be honest, other than that time when he whipped Bai Yingying, he had never really fought with her.
What surprised Zhou Ze was…
The booklet in his pocket started to heat up, as if it could not wait any longer.
A little excited.
He was also looking forward to it.
He had just gotten his license. It was like a person who had just gotten a driver’s license was trying to drive a car.
Zhou Ze really wanted to fight.
However, something unexpected happened. When his credentials started to heat up,
The monkey who had been looking down on him earlier suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him.
“Official Sovereign, please spare my life. Official Sovereign, please spare my life. This evil creature knows its mistake, this evil creature knows its mistake!”
…
Zhou Ze, who was originally full of interest, was left hanging in the air.
