Chapter 496 - Bride!

Chapter 496: Bride!

Lawyer An lowered his head to look at his twin. Then, he raised his head again and said very seriously while he pointed at himself, “I’m real.”

This was his defense because he was worried that Zhou Ze would think that he was fake. In this place, it was sometimes difficult to distinguish between real and fake. It was inevitable that Zhou Ze would be suspicious, even though the two had already verified each other when they first came down. Zhou Ze didn’t say anything.

“F*ck, I’m real. How can I die here? How do I know why this guy looks so much like me? Also, what the hell is this cuckold? Do you think I like this flavor?”

Actually, after getting over the initial shock and thinking carefully, one could also tell that this wasn’t Lawyer An himself. First of all, Old An’s current appearance was not the same as his previous appearance. Just like Zhou Ze’s current appearance, it was the same as Xu Le’s appearance. Everyone was reincarnated from a corpse.

“He looks so much like you. If this guy is not the twin brother of your body, he should be your father?” Zhou Ze guessed.

Lawyer An licked his lips. He carefully looked at the clothes on the corpse and reached into the corpse’s pocket. However, the corpses were arranged so neatly that there were not many gaps between them. He could not even reach into the corpse’s pocket. “I think he’s probably the father of this body. The owner of this body before I possessed him was a playboy. It’s said that his father died when he was very young.”

“Then?” Zhou Ze asked.

“It’s not like he’s my real father. Why would I do so much research? Before I escaped from Hell, I had already been doing inspections for many years. My mind is matured. Do you think that after I possessed him, I wouldn’t have a father to love me?”

“In other words, your father…”

“The father of my body.” Lawyer An emphasized. Zhou Ze kept calling him “your father”, which made him panic.

“Your body’s father died here many years ago. His body was transported here. In other words, your father… I’m sorry, your body’s father’s ghost is probably still here, right?”

The ghost-raising corpse was also here. The two of them had just eaten and chatted with those foreign devils at the banquet. Based on this, they could infer that Lawyer An’s father’s ghost was also here.

“He should be. Probably. Right.” Lawyer An shrugged.

“Tsk. Tsk. Aren’t we going to have a father-son meeting?” Zhou Ze teased.

“Alright, give me the hat.” Lawyer An took the hat from Zhou Ze’s hand and put it on his father.

“This fellow is unlucky. He’s quite a good liar. The mother of my body is a rich family’s daughter. She was tricked by him and got pregnant. Then, he died in the wilderness.”

“That’s not right…” Zhou Ze suddenly reached out to stop Lawyer An when he saw him pushing the corpse’s head up to put on his hat.

“What’s wrong?” Lawyer An asked.

“Look here.” Zhou Ze lifted the corpse’s head as much as he could and brushed away the long hair that was somewhat similar to the F4 of that era. There was a bullet hole! “It seems like your father didn’t come here to explore and die. Instead, it seems like he was shot here and then dumped in the wilderness. In the end, he was brought here by the old demon from Black Mountain.”

“Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. It’s still a love-hate affair.” Lawyer An clapped his hands and said, “Alright, can we drop this topic?”

“Alright, let’s go out.”

The interlude was still an interlude after all. If one were to think about it from another perspective, Zhou Ze probably wouldn’t have much interest if Zhou Ze found Xu Le’s father’s corpse here.

He carefully pushed open the door. The two of them acted like thieves. They turned left and ran out like thieves.

There were not many rooms. The underground space was not so big. It was impossible to be as exaggerated as Qin Shihuang’s Terracotta Army Sleeping Palace.

After circling around, Zhou Ze and Lawyer An soon found a room with red cloth and colored lights hanging in front of it. It looked very cheerful. That should be the wedding room.

“Boss, go in and take a look. I’ll be outside to keep watch. If anyone comes, I’ll give you a warning. If it’s really Lin Ke inside, bring her out quickly. We’ll kill our way out.”

Zhou Ze nodded. He was a little worried that Lawyer An didn’t say anything. Zhou Ze could guess that it was exactly what he was thinking.

What if Little Loli really wanted to be the wife of the bandit chief here?

Lawyer An had a deep understanding of Little Loli’s determination to climb up the ranks. She was also the only one in the bookstore who didn’t need him to motivate her. She was an initiative. As long as she could climb up, she was probably willing to do anything.

If she let Zhou Ze in, he was her boss anyway. If she encountered the worst-case scenario, at the very least, Little Loli’s soul and blood would be in Zhou Ze’s hands. Zhou Ze had the power to kill her.

Seeing that Zhou Ze had pushed open the door of the marriage room and entered, Lawyer An simply hid in the pavilion next door. There was a veil covering the pavilion, so he could hide his figure. At the same time, it was convenient to observe the situation outside.

Coincidentally, there was a plate of peanuts and melon seeds on the stone table in the pavilion. Lawyer An subconsciously grabbed them a handful. Just as he was about to put them into his mouth, he immediately realized something and put them back. He dusted his hands off helplessly.

Why hasn’t the boss come out yet?

…

Zhou Ze pushed the door open and entered the wedding room. Fortunately, there were no maids or servants in the wedding room. This was very convenient for Zhou Ze.

A young girl was sitting on the bright red wedding bed. She had red makeup on and a red veil over her head. She sat there motionlessly.

Even though Zhou Ze had pushed the door open and walked in, she did not move at all. Was her acupoint pressed?

Zhou Ze did not know why, but when he looked at the red veil, the scene of Yin Zhiping and a little dragon girl when he watched “The Condor Heroes” appeared in Zhou Ze’s mind. He was watching the version of Gu Tianle and Li Ruotong. He remembered that little dragon girl seemed to have her acupoints pressed. Then, Yin Zhiping had placed a white cloth on her face.

Perhaps because he had experienced too many dangerous things, Zhou Ze felt that the change in his brain at every critical moment surprised him.

“Lin Ke? Lin Ke?” Zhou Ze called out in a low voice but the bride on the bed still did not move. Zhou Ze simply walked up. He grabbed the girl’s red veil and was about to remove it. Suddenly, the bride stretched out a hand and grabbed his wrist!

This bride must be a wrestler! Her hand strength was so strong!

The next moment, two red dots suddenly flashed within the red veil. It became apparent that the bride who had previously closed her eyes and opened her eyes!

This wasn’t Lin Ke! It wasn’t her!

Although the veil wasn’t lifted, Zhou Ze knew that Lin Ke’s hand strength wasn’t that great. Secondly, if she wanted to stop him, she would probably just stick out her tongue.

“Who are you?” The bride asked coldly. Her voice was clear and cold. It definitely wasn’t the voice of a little girl.

F*ck. Zhou Ze could see that he had found the wrong person. Moreover, he seemed to have met a figure like a fairy from Tianshan. It was a little girl’s body, but the voice was obviously that of an adult female!

The bride’s hand continued to exert force causing Zhou Ze to stagger and fall onto the bed. Then, the bride’s other hand directly grabbed onto Zhou Ze’s face.

Fortunately, Boss Zhou wasn’t scared too much, especially after killing Three Corpses. His combat skills had increased exponentially. He thought he had met Lin Ke at the beginning. Now that he was attacked first, Zhou Ze immediately began to counter-attack! Zhou Ze did not retreat. Instead, he crashed directly into the bride. At the same time, his hand was also directly aimed at the bride’s hand.

At this moment, Zhou Ze’s fingernails grew out.

“Hiss!” The bride sucked in a breath of cold air. Her entire body flew out of the bed. Her hands pressed down, her feet bent, she made the movements of a runner. She stared vigilantly at Zhou Ze, who was sitting on the bed. Her red veil had fallen during her quick movement just now. Her face was exposed. It was a very young face, but there was a look of vicissitudes in her eyes. Black blood was dripping from a spot on her right hand.

Zhou Ze shook his wrist. The spot that the bride had grabbed earlier was now bruised. This woman was really strong.

“Who exactly are you?” The bride continued to ask. She began to look left and right. It seemed that she was ready to call for someone.

Zhou Ze did not hesitate. He stretched out his ten fingers and shouted in a low voice, “Coffee!” Ten strands of black mist shot out from his fingernails.

The bride flipped her body in an attempt to dodge but she was still bound. Zhou Ze did not have the time to continue doing anything. The bride’s body began to shrink rapidly, leaving behind only her clothes. Then, a small black snake crawled out from her clothes. After landing on the ground, it bounced and prepared to break through the window.

Zhou Ze’s gaze focused and he waved his hand. “Newspaper!”

“Pa!” A very clear sound was heard. The small snake that had just jumped up seemed to have been hit hard by a huge fly swatter. It fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Zhou Ze quickly stepped forward and used his fingernails to grab the snake. If this snake dared to make any strange movements, Zhou Ze was confident that his fingernails could instantly cut it into many pieces.

“You’re a snake spirit?” Zhou Ze smiled speechlessly. This snake spirit was quite weak. It was much weaker than the Eighth Aunt in his Yin-yang book. There was no comparison at all.

The little black snake’s eyes revealed a pleading look. It even stuck out its tongue to lick Zhou Ze’s fingers.

“I’m a ghost messenger. I’m here to find someone, not you. Answer my question obediently, and I’ll leave immediately. You can continue to be a bride. Let me ask you. Have you seen a cute and fair little girl about your height being brought in recently?”

As soon as Zhou Ze finished speaking, a venomous look suddenly appeared in the little black snake’s eyes. It began to struggle. Zhou Ze let go of his hand. The little black snake fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, it turned back into the appearance of a young girl, but she did not wear anything.

Zhou Ze was not so pedantic that he would look away. It would be a fool to turn his back to someone else.

“Officer, are you looking for that Little Vixen?” The bride gnashed her teeth and said.

“Little Vixen?” Zhou Ze was stunned for a moment. “Hey, what happened between you vixens has nothing to do with me. That’s a person. To be exact, it’s a person with a physical body.”

“It’s that Little Vixen. My husband brought her back from the outside a few days ago. She’s obsessed with my husband!”

“Oh…” Zhou Ze understood it turned out that the “vixen” mentioned here was not a real “vixen.”

“Her name is Lin Ke, right?” The bride raised her head to look at Zhou Ze and asked eagerly. It seemed that she was even more anxious than Zhou Ze.

“Yes, I’m here to bring her away.”

“Alright, I know where she is. She’s on a business trip. I’ll help you find her. She’s not far from here. I’ll bring you to find her!” In her excitement, she was going to pull Zhou Ze out without even putting on any clothes.

“Hey. Hey. Hey!” Zhou Ze called out to her. He felt that the bride’s reaction was too strange. Boss Zhou was not a person who trusted others easily. It was really strange that a person who listened to nonsense every day could easily trust others. Moreover, the person standing in front of him was a spirit.

“Officer, don’t you know? My husband and I are getting married today. My husband was so charmed by that vixen that he didn’t even show up for the wedding! Now, he made me sit on the wedding bed alone for so long. I want that vixen to die… Hiss. Hiss. Hiss!”

The bride stuck out her tongue and changed her words, “I want that vixen to leave immediately!”
